The death of a NEET aspirant from Jehanabad, staying at a Patna girls’ hostel, has stirred political tensions. Purnea MP Rajesh Ranjan, known as Pappu Yadav, has accused Bihar Police of shielding influential figures in connection with the case. Yadav alleged that the government is protecting mafia elements involved in a suspected sex racket in Patna.
Yadav called for the interrogation of hostel owner Manish Ranjan, suggesting that the accused might have been hastily sent to jail to safeguard someone powerful. He criticized the police and government in a social media post, questioning the involvement of a leader’s or minister’s son in the case. The MP also raised concerns about the victim’s family facing unfair targeting and defamation.
Pappu Yadav questioned the motives behind the Bihar Police’s actions, accusing them of protecting mafia elements associated with the alleged sex racket. He vowed to prevent any suppression of the matter and demanded transparency in the investigation. Yadav visited the hospital where the student was initially treated, alleging that the hospital staff and doctors provided misleading information to the police, hindering the early stages of the probe.
In response to the controversy, Pappu Yadav introduced a helpline for female students in Bihar’s girls’ hostels, urging them to seek help without fear. He assured personal assistance if required and emphasized the importance of immediate reporting of threats or issues. The case has sparked calls for swift action, transparent investigation, and enhanced safety measures for female hostel residents in Bihar.
