Ranchi: The investigation into the Nisha Bhagat case will now be handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), following a decision by Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren.
The Chief Minister announced the decision on Tuesday night through a post on his official X account, stating, “The Nisha Bhagat case will now be investigated by the CBI. Instructions have been issued.”
The move comes amid growing demands from Nisha Bhagat’s family for an impartial investigation and strict action against those responsible. The case had also drawn political attention, with questions being raised over the course of the investigation and the need to establish the facts.
With the state government deciding to hand over the case to the central agency, the CBI is now expected to examine the circumstances surrounding the case and investigate all relevant aspects.
The decision marks a significant development in the case, as the family’s demand for a probe by an independent central agency has gained ground. However, further details regarding the formal transfer of the investigation and the CBI’s next course of action are awaited.
