Bihar’s political landscape heated up as Deputy CM Samrat Choudhary confirmed that the CBI will investigate the suspicious death of a NEET student in Patna. This comes after CM Nitish Kumar’s formal request to the Centre, marking a pivotal turn from the ongoing Bihar Police SIT inquiry.

The tragedy unfolded amid heightened scrutiny when FSL analysis detected male DNA on the victim’s innerwear, prompting wider suspect sampling. Family members confronted the DGP yesterday, highlighting lapses and demanding accountability.

Choudhary’s social media post underscored the government’s resolve for impartiality. Yet, opposition voices like RJD’s Ejaz Ahmad accuse the Nitish regime of failing daughters, claiming investigative foot-dragging suggests protection for the guilty.

BJP’s Prabhavakar Mishra countered sharply, portraying the CBI handover as Nitish’s unwavering commitment to justice. ‘Sushasan is not a slogan but a pledge,’ he declared, assuring that Bihar’s law and order will spare no offender, regardless of status.

This case has ignited a broader debate on student safety in coaching hubs. Anxious parents now question if coaching centers are secure and if the state machinery prioritizes swift justice. As CBI steps in, expectations soar for revelations that could reshape public trust in Bihar’s governance.
