In a disturbing escalation, the family of a Jehanabad NEET candidate, whose death has sparked a major controversy, has received a second menacing letter threatening more violence. The CBI’s aggressive investigation continues against this backdrop of terror in Bihar’s heartland.
Tuesday marked a pivotal day in the probe, with CBI officials scouring the Patna-based Shambhu Girls Hostel for clues, followed by a detailed check at the family’s Jehanabad village home. The victim’s brother underwent intense questioning in Patna, as investigators piece together the events leading to the young student’s demise.
Panic gripped the household when another handwritten threat surfaced nearby, ominously stating that the son would follow the daughter’s fate within days. This echoes the first note from February 14, tossed brazenly outside despite security deployments, allegedly by a local individual.
Local police from Shakurabad station have now stationed officers at the home round-the-clock. SHO Rahul Kumar stated that a formal complaint is registered, and teams are actively tracing the source of these intimidations. Yet, the father’s anguish is palpable: accusations of lax oversight fly, coupled with pleas for robust protection and immediate arrests.
‘Our home is shrouded in fear,’ the patriarch lamented. ‘These notes promise our son’s murder, thrown twice under watch. Divine intervention is our only solace now.’
What began as a presumed suicide unraveled dramatically with forensic revelations of sexual assault, igniting public fury. Allegations of cover-ups by initial responders led to an SIT’s intervention, escalating charges under juvenile justice provisions post-minor status confirmation.
This unfolding saga highlights systemic vulnerabilities in student accommodations and the perils of medical entrance preparation in Bihar. With CBI at the helm, hopes rise for accountability, but the family’s ordeal serves as a stark reminder of justice delayed.
