The case of a NEET aspirant’s suspicious death in Patna sparked a protest by the Congress against the Bihar government. Congress leaders and workers gathered at Income Tax Chowk in Patna, criticizing the Nitish Kumar government and the police administration. The protest, led by Bihar Congress in-charge Krishna Allavaru and State Congress President Rajesh Ram, included burning an effigy of the Chief Minister.
The protesters accused the state government of failing to ensure women’s safety, demanding a fair investigation and strict action against those responsible. State Congress President Rajesh Ram criticized the government for allegedly trying to suppress the case, emphasizing the need for justice for the victim. He highlighted delays in action, attributing them to the victim’s social and economic background.
The matter has also caught the attention of Human Rights panels, with advocate S.K. Jha filing petitions before the NHRC and the Bihar State Human Rights Commission. Jha sought an investigation supervised by a retired judge, urging swift arrests of all involved. Bihar Home Minister Samrat Choudhary emphasized the importance of apprehending criminals, assuring full support to the police in the ongoing investigation.
