Tension grips Jehanabad after the family of a deceased NEET student received a second anonymous threat, this one explicitly targeting their son. The note, flung through a window, echoes the grief of their daughter’s unexplained death at a Patna hostel, amplifying fears amid ongoing CBI scrutiny.
Details emerged that on Tuesday, February 17, a slip of paper landed inside the home via the kitchen window. Its crude message: ‘Daughter’s gone, son dies in two days.’ Daytime security with a watchman failed to prevent this intrusion, sparking outrage over lapses.
The father, voice trembling with frustration, detailed the saga. ‘Handwriting matches the prior threat from three days back. It looks like a villager’s or child’s script, potentially backed by influential figures. We’ve informed the thana; they gave us guards, yet here we are—threatened again.’ He questioned the administration’s efficacy, insisting on thorough probes.
Prior complaints yielded a receipt from authorities, but protection feels illusory. ‘They boast of safety and fair probes, but we’re exposed. Public security isn’t their priority,’ he said, turning to faith for solace.
Shakurabad police confirmed no formal report yet but vowed investigation and action. The CBI, now leading the death inquiry, may broaden its lens following this repeat offense—eerily near the same kitchen spot as before.
This unfolding drama exposes rural India’s underbelly of intimidation and inadequate policing. The family’s pleas underscore the human cost of delayed justice. As shadows lengthen over Jehanabad, decisive steps are crucial to shield innocents from escalating peril.
