The Bihar State Women’s Commission has initiated action following the suspicious death of a NEET aspirant in Patna. Chairperson Prof. Apsara will visit Jehanabad on January 21 to meet the deceased student’s family and assess the situation. She has urged the Senior Superintendent of Police in Patna to take immediate action against the culprits and provide a detailed investigation report to the Commission.
Prof. Apsara emphasized that the Commission is actively monitoring the case and assured that those responsible will face consequences. As a result of the Commission’s involvement, the hostel operator has been arrested, and a Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been formed to investigate the incident.
The deceased student, hailing from Jehanabad district, was preparing for the NEET exam while residing in a Patna hostel. The circumstances of her death have raised concerns, leading to protests by students and social organizations across the state. ADG (CID) Parasnath mentioned that disclosing details prematurely would be inappropriate and highlighted the ongoing technical and scientific investigations, including DNA analysis.
The investigation process is expected to take several days to complete, with DNA reports possibly requiring additional time. The Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) has conducted a thorough investigation at the hostel where the student lived, collecting crucial evidence for further examination. The case has stirred political controversy, with opposition parties criticizing the government for alleged administrative lapses and delayed responses, while student groups and social organizations demand swift justice for the victim.
