The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is escalating its inquiry into the suspicious death of a NEET student in Patna. Recently, a CBI team, including a woman inspector, revisited the village of the student’s maternal uncle in Jehanabad for the third time. Family members underwent extensive questioning during this visit, following a previous interrogation of the student’s immediate family members.
The investigative team seized the student’s brother’s mobile phone during an earlier visit, which had been sent for repairs at a shop in Makhdumpur. After initially finding the shop closed, the phone was eventually retrieved from a nearby paan shop. Forensic analysis of the phone is anticipated to yield crucial insights into the case. The CBI had summoned the student’s maternal uncle to Patna for questioning, but upon his non-appearance, the team proceeded to question him at his village.
On February 15, a large CBI team, including senior officers, had visited the village and confiscated significant documents and materials related to the case. The investigation took a disturbing turn when threatening notes were discovered at the student’s residence, escalating security concerns and prompting an expansion of the probe from Patna to the student’s hometown and her uncle’s house. With ongoing fieldwork, electronic evidence seizures, and family interrogations, the case has entered a critical phase, with the potential for new revelations that could impact the investigation significantly.
