An SIT is investigating the deaths of three cousins found in Jharkhand's Hazaribag forest. Despite no external injuries being found, further tests are needed to determine if it was murder or suicide. Concerns over the police's initial handling of the case have been raised.

In Jharkhand's Hazaribag district, the mysterious deaths of three cousins have prompted the formation of a Special Investigation Team (SIT). The bodies, discovered in a forest, showed no external injuries, leaving the cause of death uncertain pending further testing.

Hazaribag Superintendent of Police Aman Kumar confirmed the post-mortem findings, emphasizing the need for additional tests, including diatom tests, to determine if drowning was involved. Initial police efforts have been criticized, and the families demand quicker action.
