Deepening shadows loom over the death of a promising NEET student found in her Patna hostel room, as CBI investigators uncover baffling inconsistencies. A Sunday raid at the Jehanabad family home revealed that the father’s and brother’s mobile phones—vital for tracing final calls—were inexplicably broken and under repair. This coincidence has investigators questioning timelines and motives in what was initially dismissed as a suicide.
The 18-member CBI squad meticulously searched the residence, confiscating the girl’s apparel, textbooks, notes, and a scissors. Hours of grilling family members and locals yielded insights into her habits but also hints of underlying tensions. The mobile angle dominates, as agents seek to verify the content of those last desperate exchanges.
Fresh alarm gripped the family when a chilling pamphlet was hurled into their kitchen late Friday: ‘Stop meddling, or face death for all.’ They interpret this as retaliation for escalating the case to CBI after perceived local police sabotage. Authorities have launched a parallel inquiry into the intimidation.
CBI’s probe hinges on these pivotal queries:
– January 26 evening: What panic drove her urgent calls home?
– January 27 visit: Why the immediate parental intervention post-call?
– January 5 anomaly: Her unexplained brief absence after hostel return?
– Food refusal: Skipping breakfast and dinner on January 5-6—stress, fear, or foul play?
– Phone mystery: Synced destruction of family devices post-death?
Politically charged, the incident has rocked Bihar’s legislature. Opposition barrages during budget debates highlighted crumbling security for students. Rabri Devi’s cover-up claims fueled public outrage, culminating in CBI handover amid street protests. This tragedy underscores the perils faced by aspirants in high-stakes exam hostels, demanding swift justice.
