In Patna, Congress workers staged a protest against the Bihar government's alleged negligence in probing the case of a NEET aspirant's death. Led by Krishna Allavaru and state president Rajesh Ram, protesters criticized Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's administration, asserting that justice remains elusive.

The 18-year-old aspirant from Jehanabad was found unconscious in her hostel and died on January 11. Amid accusations of sexual assault and a cover-up attempt, the case has sparked widespread public outrage. Authorities, including Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, claim that an SIT will ensure accountability, but skepticism persists.

Family members continue to challenge official narratives, pointing to discrepancies in police statements and post-mortem findings. As protests grow, the calls for transparency and justice amplify, questioning the efficacy of current investigative measures and urging further action against implicated officials.
