Bunty whipped out the gun and fired at Aman
In the corridors of a place built for healing, violence arrived carrying its own history. On a Saturday afternoon in Ambala, two men with criminal pasts came to a hospital to visit the sick, and one left having killed the other — the entire act witnessed by security cameras that recorded what human witnesses could scarcely believe. The episode raises an old and unresolved question: how far does the shadow of a life lived outside the law extend, and who else stands within it.
- A man was shot dead multiple times just outside a hospital ICU in broad daylight, in a space where patients' families pass through every hour.
- The killing was not random chaos — the assailant arrived armed, concealing a pistol beneath a white cloth, suggesting the confrontation may have been anticipated even if the moment was sudden.
- CCTV footage captured the entire sequence with clinical clarity, transforming a hospital corridor into a crime scene with its own complete visual testimony.
- The assailant fled in a waiting car, and police have since mobilized multiple teams in a manhunt, registering the case as murder at Baldev Nagar station.
- Both men carried criminal records, and both had come for the same human reason — to visit someone ill — a detail that makes the violence harder, not easier, to place.
On a Saturday afternoon in late February, a man known as Aman — or by his alias, Kappu — was shot dead just outside the intensive care unit of Mission Hospital in Ambala. The man who killed him, identified by police as Bunty, had a criminal record of his own. Both had come to the hospital that day for the same purpose: to visit a patient in the ICU.
What unfolded was captured in full by the hospital's security cameras. The footage shows the two men walking out of the ICU ward together, Bunty concealing a pistol beneath a white cloth. Words were exchanged. Then Bunty drew the weapon and fired. Aman fell. Bunty fired again before fleeing the scene in a car he had waiting outside. Hospital staff immediately called the police, but by the time Aman reached the emergency department, he was already dead.
Authorities described the killing as a sudden escalation of a verbal dispute — though the precise nature of the argument remains unclear. ASP Pooja Dabla confirmed the confrontation preceded the shooting, and the hospital's director corroborated that the two men had quarreled before the gun appeared. The CCTV footage, capturing every moment in sequence, became the central evidence in a murder case registered at Baldev Nagar police station. Police teams were quickly formed to locate Bunty, with investigators expressing confidence in an imminent arrest.
A man known to police as Aman, though he went by the alias Kappu, lay dead on the ground outside the intensive care unit of Mission Hospital in Ambala on a Saturday afternoon in late February. He had been shot multiple times. The person who killed him was another man with a criminal record, someone the police identified as Bunty. Both men had histories of run-ins with the law. Both had come to the hospital that day for the same reason: to visit a patient in the ICU.
What happened next was documented in perfect detail by the hospital's security cameras. The footage shows both men emerging together from the ICU ward. Bunty is visible carrying something beneath a white cloth—the pistol he had brought into the hospital. As they walked, the two men were close enough to speak. Then, without warning, Bunty pulled the gun free and fired. Aman fell. Bunty fired again, multiple times, before turning and running from the scene. He had arrived at the hospital in a car, and he used it to escape.
The hospital staff witnessed what had happened and immediately alerted the police. They rushed Aman to the emergency department, but the doctors found him already dead on arrival. The shooting had taken place just outside the ICU doors, in a space where patients' families and visitors move through daily, where the sick and their loved ones pass within feet of one another.
According to the police, the two men had argued about something as they left the ICU. The details of what sparked the confrontation remained unclear, but it was enough. Bunty had come prepared. ASP Pooja Dabla, speaking to investigators, described it as a sudden escalation: the men had a verbal disagreement, and in that moment, Bunty produced the weapon and fired. Dr. Sunil Sadik, the director of Mission Hospital, confirmed that the two had indeed quarreled before the shooting began, though he did not specify the nature of their dispute.
The police moved quickly to establish a manhunt. Teams were formed to locate and arrest Bunty, and investigators expressed confidence they would apprehend him soon. A murder case was registered at the Baldev Nagar police station. The CCTV footage, which had captured every moment of the killing in clear sequence, became the central piece of evidence—a complete visual record of how a man with a criminal past had been shot dead by another man with a criminal past, in a place where people come seeking healing.

The Hearth Conversation Another angle on the story
Why would two men with criminal histories both be visiting the same ICU patient?
The source doesn't say. They came together, or at least arrived at the hospital together, but their connection to the patient—or to each other—isn't explained. That's one of the gaps.
The CCTV footage seems to show premeditation. Bunty brought the gun wrapped in cloth.
Yes. He didn't pull it from his pocket in a moment of rage. He had it with him, concealed, which suggests he either came prepared for violence or was carrying it as a matter of routine. We don't know which.
What does "a tiff about something" mean? That's vague language from the police.
It is. The ASP said they had a disagreement, but wouldn't or couldn't specify what it was about. Maybe they didn't know. Maybe they did and weren't saying. Either way, it was enough to trigger a shooting.
A hospital is supposed to be a place of safety. How does this change things?
It doesn't, really. A hospital is just a building. Violence doesn't respect the purpose of a place. But it does mean dozens of people—staff, patients, visitors—witnessed a murder. It means the ICU, where people are most vulnerable, became a crime scene.
Do we know if Bunty was ever caught?
The source was published the day of the shooting. It says police formed teams and expressed confidence he'd be arrested soon, but it doesn't say whether he was. The story ends with the manhunt beginning.
