Bihar govt seeks CBI probe into Patna NEET aspirants death case

“Chief minister Nitish Kumar has urged the government of India to hand over the investigation of the NEET student’s murder case in Patna (Case No.- 14/26) to the CBI. The incident must be thoroughly uncovered in a transparent and just manner,” Choudhary, who also holds the home portfolio, said in his post on X.

A Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the Bihar police is investigating the case.

The deceased, a resident of Jehanabad, was found unconscious in her hostel room in Patna’s Chitragupt Nagar earlier this month. She died at a private hospital on January 11 after remaining in a coma for several days. Her family had alleged that she was sexually assaulted, accusing authorities of attempting a cover-up.

The family as well as the Opposition have also been demanding a CBI inquiry, alleging attempts to shield powerful people in the case.
