Bihar Women's Commission Takes Suo Motu Action on Two Shocking Crimes
The Bihar State Women's Commission stepped in on Tuesday. They took suo motu cognizance of two deeply disturbing incidents that occurred over the weekend. These cases involve serious crimes against women and a young student in the state.
Gang Rape Occurs Mere 200 Metres from Police Station in Purnia
In the first case, a 24-year-old woman faced a horrific ordeal. She was allegedly gang-raped on Saturday night. The crime happened in a room located just 200 metres from the local police station in Purnia district.
The commission immediately highlighted this alarming proximity. It raises serious questions about public security and the effectiveness of police response mechanisms. How could such a brutal attack happen so close to a law enforcement outpost?
Suspicious Death of NEET Aspirant in Patna Hostel
The second incident involves the tragic and suspicious death of a student. She was preparing for the NEET medical entrance exam. The student resided in a hostel under the Chitragupta Nagar police station area in Patna.
Authorities found her unconscious in a locked room. They rushed her to a hospital, but she succumbed to her injuries during treatment on Sunday.
Her family members have made grave allegations. They claim she was raped before being killed. They point to multiple injuries on her body as clear evidence of sexual assault and foul play.
Police Investigations and Family Demands
The police have registered a case at Chitragupta Nagar police station. This action followed a formal complaint filed by the student's father. Investigators are currently examining the circumstances surrounding her death.
The grieving family has demanded a thorough and impartial inquiry into both cases. They seek justice and swift action against the perpetrators. They want the guilty parties held accountable without delay.
Women's Commission Issues Directives to Police
The Bihar State Women's Commission has written to senior police officers in the respective districts. The commission issued clear directives. Authorities must carry out proper investigations into both the Purnia gang rape and the Patna student death.
The commission ordered immediate action against the accused. It also demanded a detailed report on all steps undertaken by the police. The commission seeks transparency and accountability in the handling of these sensitive cases.
Protest Erupts in Patna Over Student's Death
The Patna incident sparked public outrage and heightened tensions. Late on Sunday evening, family members brought the deceased student's body to Kargil Chowk. They staged a protest at the location, which attracted a large crowd of onlookers.
Police personnel from several stations responded to the scene. Officers from Gandhi Maidan, Kadamkuan, Jakkanpur, and Pirbahore police stations arrived. They placed barricades to manage the gathering.
Authorities eventually used mild force to disperse the protesters. They worked to clear the area and restore order. The protest underscored the deep public concern over women's safety and the demand for justice.
