Bihar politics erupted Thursday as RJD demanded a no-holds-barred CBI investigation into a Patna student’s untimely death, casting a shadow over the state’s education and security apparatus.
The victim, a college-goer from a modest background, was discovered in dire condition after what appears to be a nightmarish ordeal. Witnesses recall her seeking help, yet no timely intervention materialized, leading to blistering critiques of patrolling and emergency responses.
In a high-decibel press conference, RJD chief Tejashwi Yadav slammed the authorities, terming the death ‘state-sponsored murder by neglect.’ Supporters converged at Dak Bungalow Chowk, turning it into a hub of dissent with placards and chants echoing far and wide.
This escalation reflects RJD’s strategy to corner the government on safety lapses, especially concerning female students. Data from recent years shows a spike in campus-related incidents, bolstering their argument for federal oversight.
While the administration touts ongoing investigations and assurances of strict action against culprits, skeptics remain unconvinced. Civil rights activists have joined the fray, petitioning higher courts for intervention.
The saga continues to dominate headlines, intertwining personal loss with political maneuvering. It underscores urgent needs for robust reforms, from better surveillance to faster judicial processes, as Bihar navigates this turbulent chapter.
