Patna, Jan 27 (NationPress) Bihar's Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha made a heartfelt visit to the home of the parents of a NEET aspirant who tragically passed away under unexplained circumstances at Shambhu Girls Hostel in Patna.
The scene was incredibly emotional as the bereaved mother was visibly devastated upon the Deputy Chief Minister’s arrival, expressing her desperate plea for justice.
Touched by the family's plight, Sinha promptly reached out to the Director General of Police (DGP) via phone, instructing him to expedite the investigation into the case.
He emphasized that no one should evade accountability and insisted that the harshest penalties should be imposed on those responsible for this crime.
In a statement to the family, Sinha assured them, “We will not let anyone go unpunished. Justice will prevail.”
Following this visit, he addressed the press, reaffirming his commitment to ensuring justice.
He noted that the investigation is being closely overseen by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and that every aspect of the case is under thorough scrutiny.
“This case transcends that of a single girl; it concerns the dignity of all daughters of Bihar,” Sinha stated.
He further asserted that if evidence of murder following a sexual assault is established, the strictest actions will be taken, regardless of the accused's influence.
The case is currently being handled by a Special Investigation Team (SIT), with both the DGP and the Home Department actively monitoring the situation.
Sinha revealed that the DGP has also communicated directly with the victim’s father.
“The truth will emerge shortly. The police are diligently working, and justice will be achieved,” he promised.
After Sinha's departure, the grieving mother spoke to reporters, still overwhelmed by her loss.
She expressed that Sinha had promised her decisive action and justice for her daughter, yet she voiced concerns about harassment from the police.
The distraught mother claimed that officers frequently visited their home late at night, interrogating the family as if they were culpable for their daughter’s demise.
She mentioned that blood samples were taken from her, her husband, and her son, alleging that police even insinuated she was responsible for her child’s death.
“How could a mother harm her own child?” she questioned tearfully.
“If they think I am guilty, then punish me. We are ready to endure anything, but please give my daughter the justice she deserves,” she implored.
She also accused the hostel where her daughter stayed of negligence, calling for an investigation into the hostel operator and a doctor from a nearby hospital.
“She was the Lakshmi of our family. She was more than just my daughter; she was like my son,” the grieving mother lamented.
