In a significant development in Bihar’s political landscape, Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor held a crucial meeting with Patna Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) on Thursday. The discussion centered around the tragic death of a student that has sparked widespread outrage and protests across the state.
The incident, which occurred recently, has put the Bihar Police under intense scrutiny. Eyewitnesses and student activists claim the young woman died under mysterious circumstances, with allegations of police negligence and possible foul play surfacing quickly. Social media is abuzz with videos and accounts demanding justice, putting pressure on local authorities to act swiftly.
Prashant Kishor, known for his sharp political strategies and advocacy for youth issues, took the matter into his own hands. Accompanied by Jan Suraaj party leaders, he arrived at the SSP’s office in Patna, emphasizing the need for a thorough investigation. ‘This is not just about one life lost; it’s about the safety of every student in Bihar,’ Kishor stated firmly after the meeting.
Sources reveal that Kishor presented a detailed memorandum outlining key demands: an independent probe, immediate suspension of involved officers, and compensation for the victim’s family. The SSP reportedly assured full cooperation and promised updates on the case progress within 48 hours.
This move comes at a time when Bihar is gearing up for upcoming elections, and student unrest could sway public opinion. Kishor’s intervention highlights his party’s focus on ground-level issues, positioning Jan Suraaj as a voice for the aggrieved. Meanwhile, student unions have announced plans for statewide agitations if justice is delayed.
As investigations continue, all eyes are on the Patna Police to deliver transparency. The case underscores deeper systemic issues in student safety and police accountability in Bihar, issues that political leaders like Kishor are now aggressively championing. The coming days will reveal if this meeting leads to concrete action or remains another chapter in political posturing.
