KKN Gurugram Desk | In a shocking and mysterious turn of events, Dr. Surabhi Raj, the owner of Asia Hospital located in the Agamkuan area of Patna, was shot seven times on Saturday afternoon. What is most alarming is the complete lack of awareness regarding the incident within the hospital. Despite the loud sounds of gunshots, none of the hospital staff reported hearing anything, and no one saw any suspicious individuals entering or exiting the hospital or Dr. Raj’s office. It is suspected that a silenced pistol was used for the shooting, allowing the attacker to carry out the crime unnoticed.
The Incident: A Well-Planned Attack on the Hospital Director
The tragedy occurred in the afternoon, around 12 PM, when Dr. Surabhi Raj arrived alone at the hospital. Her husband, Rakesh Roshan, was occupied with his work, and she went to her office on the second floor of the hospital. While she was in her chamber, a group of assailants entered and shot her multiple times. Dr. Raj was left lying on the floor, her body drenched in blood. It was only after the staff training session that an employee named Deepak went to her office and found her unconscious, bleeding heavily.
Following this discovery, the staff rushed Dr. Raj to the hospital’s emergency services, and she was immediately transferred to Patna AIIMS. Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of the medical team, Dr. Surabhi Raj succumbed to her injuries at the hospital. The shooting incident took place sometime between 2:30 PM and 3:00 PM, sending shockwaves through the medical community.
The Silence Around the Crime: A Puzzling Situation
The most puzzling aspect of this brutal crime is the total silence surrounding it. Despite Dr. Raj being shot seven times, no staff member reported hearing the gunshots, and there were no witnesses who saw any suspicious activity around the hospital or Dr. Raj’s chamber. This raises the possibility that the assailants used a silenced pistol, ensuring the crime was carried out without drawing attention. The staff, busy with the ongoing training session, only realized something was wrong when Deepak entered the chamber later in the afternoon and discovered Dr. Raj’s lifeless body.
Police Investigation and Surveillance: Scrutinizing CCTV Footage
As soon as the news of the murder broke, the Agamkuan police and ASP Atulesh Jha arrived at the scene to investigate the matter. The police have started analyzing the CCTV footage installed in the hospital to track who was present in the hospital during the incident. They are also using a dog squad and the Forensic Lab team (FLL) to gather clues. At the time of the incident, 13 staff members were present at the hospital, and it remains to be seen whether any of them can provide useful information.
The Agamkuan police are focusing on reviewing the CCTV footage to see who entered the hospital around the time of the shooting. They are also conducting a technical investigation to gather more details. However, the statements of the family members have not been recorded yet, and the investigation is ongoing. The cause of the incident is still unclear, and Dr. Raj’s husband, Rakesh Roshan, has expressed his ignorance regarding any potential motives.
Efforts to Destroy Evidence After the Murder
In a disturbing development, SSP Avkash Kumar revealed that attempts were made to destroy the evidence following Dr. Surabhi Raj’s murder. The police are considering every angle, including personal disputes, to understand the cause of the attack. Authorities are conducting a thorough investigation, and they have promised to arrest the culprits as soon as their identities are confirmed.
Dr. Surabhi Raj lived with her family in the Kumhrar area of Patna, alongside her husband, Rakesh Roshan, and their two children. The family owned the three-story Asia Hospital in the Dhanu Ki Mod area, where both Dr. Raj and her husband worked together in managing the hospital.
The Heartbreaking News: Husband’s Desperation
Rakesh Roshan, who was waiting at home for his wife to return for lunch, received a heartbreaking phone call informing him of his wife’s tragic death. Dr. Raj had planned to go home around 1:30 PM for lunch, but she never arrived. Rakesh had been waiting anxiously for her, but it was around the afternoon that he received the dreadful news about the shooting. When he rushed to the hospital, the situation had already spiraled into chaos. The hospital staff was in a state of panic, and family members were devastated, crying uncontrollably.
Dr. Surabhi Raj’s murder is a tragic event that raises many questions about the circumstances surrounding it. The mystery of how the crime was executed without anyone noticing, the potential involvement of powerful individuals, and the motive behind such a brutal act remain unanswered. As the investigation continues, more details will emerge. However, one thing is clear: Dr. Raj’s untimely death has shaken not just her family but also the entire medical community in Bihar. The authorities are working tirelessly to uncover the truth behind this shocking murder, and justice for Dr. Surabhi Raj is a priority.
