Amid demands for justice and transparency, a protest was held at Jantar Mantar on Sunday, focusing on the death of a NEET aspirant in Patna. Demonstrators criticized the Bihar Police's handling of the case, alleging a cover-up involving claims of suicide and denial of sexual assault. Parents of the deceased insisted on thorough scrutiny of facts and accountability from authorities.
Gathering under the Bihar Nirbhaya Sangharsh Samiti, the protest attracted citizens from Delhi and Bihar, including the bereaved family. Protesters urged for an impartial investigation monitored by the judiciary, to ensure justice for the victim's family. Bihar's Deputy Chief Minister has indicated a recommendation for a CBI probe to replace the ongoing state police investigation.
The victim, a medical aspirant from Jehanabad, was found unconscious at a girls' hostel in Patna last month and later died in a hospital after days in a coma. Social activist Uday Kumar Sharma and former MP Mahabal Mishra joined the protest, advocating for vigilance against crimes targeting students and women across India. The protesters in Delhi vowed relentless pursuit of justice for the victim.
