Patna’s Shambhu Girls Hostel has become the epicenter of a chilling mystery after lab tests detected sperm on a NEET student’s undergarments. The January 9 death, once shrouded in ambiguity, now points to brutality, leading to the suspension of two senior police officers.
The victim, preparing rigorously for medical entrance exams, was discovered lifeless in Chitragupt Nagar. Her family, sensing foul play, submitted garments for analysis. FSL’s preliminary report confirmed biological evidence, triggering a full DNA matchup by the SIT against potential perpetrators.
PMCH autopsy findings had already raised red flags about assault, corroborated now by forensics. AIIMS Patna awaits complete files to opine further, but momentum builds for breakthroughs.
In a decisive move, authorities suspended Kadamkuan ASI Hemant Jha and Chitragupt Nagar ASI Roshni Kumari, citing dereliction in initial response. Their failure to act promptly allegedly hampered the inquiry from the start.
Bihar’s political landscape heated up post-incident, with rivals accusing the ruling alliance of lax policing. Home Minister Samrat Choudhary countered by launching the SIT, vowing time-bound results. This case underscores vulnerabilities faced by aspiring students in hostels, demanding rigorous safeguards and accountability.
