CBI Takes Over Investigation of Nisha Bhagat Case Amid Political Pressure
BJP spokesperson attributes CBI investigation decision to mounting pressure on Chief Minister Hemant Soren in the Nisha Bhagat case.
Ranchi, November 11 (Daily Kiran) : BJP spokesperson Pratul Shahdev stated that the Chief Minister of Jharkhand, Hemant Soren, was compelled to hand over the investigation of the Nisha Bhagat case to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) due to mounting pressure from various fronts. Shahdev emphasized that the Chief Minister faced significant public unrest, with BJP activists taking to the streets and the National Commission for Women and the National SC-ST Commission both taking note of the situation.
He remarked, “The Chief Minister was surrounded on all sides. Our torch rally occurred on Tuesday, and just four hours later, he recommended a CBI inquiry. If this had been a voluntary decision, there wouldn’t have been such a long wait.”
Nisha’s mother expressed her family’s hope that both the state and central governments would ensure justice. She raised questions about the circumstances surrounding her daughter’s death and criticized the police’s response to their concerns. “We expect justice from the state and central government. We believe what happened to my daughter was part of a conspiracy. Why did she not call us that day when she regularly did? We informed the police inspector, yet they did not respond to the scene promptly,” she said.
Nisha’s father welcomed the decision to transfer the investigation to the CBI, expressing confidence that those responsible would face justice. He stated, “The Hemant Soren government has ordered a CBI investigation. I firmly believe that those who instigated Nisha, conspired against her, and trolled her will be brought to justice. I am convinced that land mafia figures like Ajay Tirki were involved in this conspiracy.”
In related comments, Pratul Shahdev addressed a statement by AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi regarding future political leadership, agreeing that inclusivity is essential for the Muslim community. He suggested that Owaisi should direct his questions to the Congress party, highlighting historical issues regarding Muslim representation in government jobs during Congress’s rule.
Shahdev concluded, “When it came to job opportunities, the community never received its rights. Owaisi should be asking these questions of Congress.”
