Patna’s Shambhu Girls Hostel, once a haven for NEET hopefuls, now stands at the epicenter of a chilling investigation. The death of a minor student has triggered POCSO Act proceedings, as SIT uncovers evidence of possible exploitation.
The Jehanabad native, staying in Chitragupt Nagar’s Munna Chak, was rushed to hospital after being found unresponsive. Medical efforts failed, leaving investigators to piece together a puzzle laced with forensic red flags. Underwear stains, suspected to be sperm from a young adult male (18-21), have steered the probe toward sexual misconduct.
Court-sanctioned, the POCSO integration reflects the victim’s underage status and emerging facts. Parallelly, 15 DNA specimens from key contacts are en route to forensics labs. This batch holds the key to identifying perpetrators who crossed paths with her in the critical window.
Politics erupts as Pappu Yadav escalates the clamor in Parliament, brandishing demands for CBI oversight. His allegations of investigative sabotage to protect elites have fueled statewide debates, with rivals trading barbs on governance lapses.
State-appointed SIT ramps up operations, navigating this sensitive terrain. The blend of academic ambition, hostel vulnerabilities, and legal rigor paints a stark picture of student safety challenges. Eyes remain glued to lab results, promising closure or further shocks in this poignant pursuit of truth.
