BJP Demands CBI Inquiry into Suspicious Death of Tribal Leader Nisha Bhagat in Ranchi
BJP activists in Ranchi rally for a CBI investigation into the suspicious death of tribal activist Nisha Bhagat, demanding justice.
Ranchi, November 10 (Daily Kiran) : A rally demanding justice and a CBI investigation into the suspicious death of tribal social activist Nisha Bhagat took place in Ranchi on November 10. Led by former MP and senior tribal leader Sameer Oraon, BJP workers marched from Jaypal Singh Munda Stadium to Albert Ekka Chowk. The demonstrators called on the state government to ensure accountability and arrest those responsible for her death.
During the protest, Oraon claimed that tribal individuals who speak out against the government in Jharkhand are increasingly being targeted. He emphasized that Nisha Bhagat was a fierce advocate for the rights, culture, and traditions of the tribal community. She had been vocal against issues like forced conversions and the alleged illegal buying and selling of tribal land.
Oraon noted that Bhagat had publicly expressed concerns for her safety and the harassment she faced. He insisted that the attempt to dismiss her death as an ordinary incident would not be accepted. He called for a thorough investigation into all aspects of the case, including family allegations, her last video, and previous complaints. A transparent CBI inquiry, he argued, is essential to alleviate the doubts of the family and the tribal community.
Former MLA Gangotri Kujur also echoed the demand for an impartial investigation. She pointed out that previous cases involving individuals like Sandhya Toppo, Rupa Tirkey, Surya Hansda, and Soma Oraon have raised significant questions within the tribal community. It is the government’s responsibility to ensure accountability in these matters and deliver justice to the affected families. Kujur also questioned whether timely action was taken on Bhagat’s complaints.
BJP leaders announced that their movement would continue until the truth behind Nisha Bhagat’s death is revealed and action is taken against the culprits. They also declared a shutdown in the South Chotanagpur division on November 18. The torch rally saw participation from BJP officials and hundreds of activists from Ranchi city.
