Chief Minister Hemant Soren orders CBI probe into Nisha Bhagat death case

Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren has directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to probe the death case of tribal social activist Nisha Bhagat. The Chief Minister informed of this important decision through a post on the social media platform 'X'. Following this decision, hope has arisen among the family and various social organisations, who have been awaiting justice since the time of death, that the truth will now emerge.

According to a report by Amar Ujala, Nisha Bhagat was found dead on November 6 at her residence located in the Pithoria police station area of Ranchi. After this incident, her family members and several social organisations had been continuously demanding an impartial investigation. Family members expressed suspicion that there was a larger conspiracy behind the incident and appealed to the government for justice.

Another social activist and IRS officer, Nisha Oraon, also came forward in this case. In a conversation with Prabhat Khabar, she had demanded a CBI probe into the entire matter. Considering the pressure from social activists and the family, as well as the gravity of the case, the Chief Minister has finally ordered a CBI investigation.

Looking at the detailed background of the incident, Nisha Bhagat had gone live on Facebook before she was found dead. In this live video, she spoke about her difficulties and the alleged harassment she was facing. This video brought new turns to the case and strengthened the allegations of harassment.

Following the incident, Nisha Bhagat's father lodged a complaint with the police, based on which the police initiated a preliminary investigation. Two individuals have been named in the FIR registered by the police. Initially, a Special Investigation Team (SIT) was formed by the police to conduct a deep probe into the case. Despite the ongoing investigation by the SIT, the family and social organisations did not have full confidence in the police probe, which led them to demand a central agency.

Now, following the directions of Chief Minister Hemant Soren, the CBI will take over the entire case. The CBI probe will now clarify the actual reasons behind Nisha Bhagat's death and whether there was a larger conspiracy behind this incident. The family hopes that the investigation conducted by the central agency will lead to the punishment of the culprits and that they will receive proper justice. This case has become extremely sensitive for the tribal community and social activists in Jharkhand, resulting in heavy pressure on the government for an investigation.
