Chhapra’s Derni village is reeling from the suspicious death of a Class 10 girl whose body was discovered in a well. While police arrested one accused and ruled out rape, Purnea MP Pappu Yadav has fiercely criticized the investigation’s direction.
Taking to the public platform, Yadav warned against premature verdicts without forensic evidence. He drew parallels to a past NEET student’s case, where unverified poisoning claims bypassed essential tests, leading to flawed outcomes.
‘This poor family’s daughter deserves justice, not gossip,’ Yadav emphasized. He posited that whether involving a love affair or not, the death constitutes murder driven by societal pressures. Insisting on technical scrutiny, he highlighted the need for medical boards, CCTV analysis, and mobile data cross-verification.
Yadav questioned why the girl’s phone location wasn’t traced post-well incident and why the supposed boyfriend’s details weren’t probed deeply. He accused the administration of a pattern: labeling women’s cases as romantic entanglements to deflect scrutiny.
As fugitives evade capture, the incident raises broader concerns about girl child safety in Bihar. Yadav’s intervention pressures police for transparency, forensic rigor, and avoidance of victim-blaming narratives until SFL reports confirm facts.
