A shocking update in the Patna NEET student death case: the probe is transferring to the CBI. Bihar Deputy CM Samrat Choudhary broke the news on social media, noting CM Nitish Kumar’s appeal to Delhi for central agency intervention.
What began as a suspected suicide escalated dramatically with forensic evidence of male sperm on the girl’s underwear. Bihar Police’s SIT had detained suspects and collected DNA samples, but family dissatisfaction peaked after their DGP meeting.
RJD’s Ejaz Ahmad seized the moment to attack the government, arguing that hollow promises of protecting and educating girls ring false when probes lag. He claimed the administration’s handling implies complicity in hiding perpetrators.
BJP spokesperson Prabhavakar Mishra dismissed the criticism, lauding Nitish’s proactive CBI push as emblematic of Bihar’s rule-of-law ethos. ‘No compromise on daughters’ justice,’ he asserted, vowing that even powerful culprits will be prosecuted relentlessly.
The incident has parents on edge, fearing for their children’s safety in competitive exam preparations. This high-profile handover to CBI raises hopes for unbiased findings, potentially exposing systemic failures in student security and investigative efficiency across coaching epicenters.
