Patna, Bihar: In a significant political development, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) has called for a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inquiry into the tragic death of a student in Patna. The incident has sparked widespread outrage, with opposition parties questioning the state government’s handling of the case.
The student, whose identity has been withheld pending formal identification, was found under mysterious circumstances in the heart of Patna. Eyewitnesses reported seeing her in distress hours before her body was discovered, raising serious questions about the sequence of events leading to her demise.
RJD leaders, led by prominent figures from the party, staged a protest outside the local police station, demanding transparency and a thorough investigation. ‘This is not just a student’s death; it’s a failure of the system,’ declared an RJD spokesperson, highlighting alleged lapses in security and response from authorities.
The demand for CBI intervention comes amid growing accusations of cover-up and political interference. Opposition leaders argue that state police investigations lack impartiality, especially in cases involving sensitive issues like student safety. Protests have swelled, with students and civil society groups joining the chorus for justice.
As the political heat intensifies ahead of upcoming elections, the Bihar government faces mounting pressure. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s administration has promised a high-level probe, but RJD insists only a central agency can ensure unbiased findings. The case has now become a flashpoint in Bihar’s polarized political landscape.
Families across the state are watching closely, fearing similar fates for their children. Educational institutions have halted classes in solidarity, amplifying calls for systemic reforms in campus security and police accountability. The coming days will test the government’s resolve in addressing these grave concerns.
