The NEET girl mysterious death case in Bihar has taken a major turn after the state government allowed the CBI to investigate the matter under the POCSO Act. Officials issued a revised notification that added strict legal sections related to sexual offences against minors.
The NEET girl mysterious death case involves a 17-year-old medical aspirant from Jehanabad who stayed in a girls’ hostel in Patna while preparing for the NEET exam. She was found unconscious in her hostel room on January 6 and later died in hospital on January 11 after remaining in a coma for several days.
Initially, the FIR filed by Patna Police did not include charges under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. During the hearing, the court questioned why these serious sections were missing despite allegations of sexual assault.
After the court’s remarks, the Bihar Home Department corrected its earlier order. The revised notification now allows the CBI to investigate the case under POCSO sections and other relevant laws.
The girl’s family has alleged rape and murder since the beginning and demanded a fair investigation. The case continues to draw public attention as the CBI probe moves forward.
