The Bihar Legislative Assembly’s Budget Session saw intense discussions on the alleged rape and murder of NEET aspirants. CPI MLA Arun Singh’s adjournment motion on the issue was rejected by the Speaker, but it was allowed to be read in the House. Singh highlighted the tragic incidents involving two girl students from Jehanabad and Aurangabad, preparing for NEET in a Patna hostel.
The MLA criticized the state government for failing to ensure women’s safety and maintain law and order. He accused the police of a negative response, initially denying the crimes and protecting the culprits. Singh emphasized the need for a thorough investigation beyond the CBI probe, suggesting oversight by a Supreme Court judge and a fixed timeline for justice delivery.
Speaker Prem Kumar acknowledged the government’s action on the matter and clarified the disallowance of the adjournment motion. Despite opposition MLAs’ calls for a detailed discussion, brief disruptions ensued. RJD legislators protested for justice in the NEET student case and raised concerns about state law and order.
The mother of one victim visited the Jehanabad District Magistrate’s office, questioning the police investigation and accusing Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary and the DGP of attempting to suppress the case with bribes. She demanded a transparent inquiry and vowed to persist until the truth is revealed.
