Bihar Govt Recommends CBI Probe Into Death of NEET Aspirant in Patna
Patna: The Bihar government has recommended a CBI inquiry into the recent death of an 18-year-old NEET candidate in Patna, Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary said on Saturday. The Special Investigation Team (SIT) of Bihar police is investigating the case.
The deceased, a woman from Jahanabad, was found unconscious in her hostel room in Patna’s Chitragupt Nagar earlier this month. He died in a private hospital on January 11 after being in a coma for several days. Her family claimed that she had been sexually assaulted and accused the authorities of trying to cover up the incident.

The deputy CM also holds the house portfolio.
Parents of a NEET candidate in Bihar on Saturday alleged that the state police tried to cover up the matter by denying sexual assault and claiming that it was a case of suicide.
The autopsy report did not rule out sexual violence, a finding that contradicts police’s initial claim that medical reports and CCTV footage ruled out sexual assault. An employee of the hostel was arrested in connection with the incident.
