The Bihar government has requested a CBI investigation into the death of a NEET aspirant in a Patna women’s hostel. The victim, a resident of Jehanabad district, was preparing for the NEET exam and was found unconscious in her hostel room earlier this month. Her family alleges sexual assault and has criticized the police investigation.
Significant developments in the case include the collection of blood samples from 11 individuals by the Forensic Science Laboratory. Suspects, including the hostel owner and family members, are being investigated. The victim’s clothes have revealed the presence of sperm, raising suspicions of sexual assault, while the post-mortem examination also suggests the possibility of sexual assault.
Bihar’s Deputy Chief Minister and Home Minister have taken a strict stance, suspending two Station House Officers over alleged investigative lapses. The family’s appeal for justice has prompted high-level meetings with top officials to review the case and ensure a fair investigation.
