Ranchi: BJP Jharkhand President Aditya Sahu has welcomed the state government's recommendation for a CBI investigation into the suicide case of tribal leader Nisha Bhagat, stating that the government was compelled to take this decision due to sustained pressure from the BJP and its Scheduled Tribe (ST) Morcha. He said the party had been demanding a fair investigation and justice for the victim's family from the very beginning.
Aditya Sahu said that immediately after the news of Nisha Bhagat's suicide emerged, the BJP ST Morcha launched protests across the state. The organisation organised effigy burnings and torch processions and announced a series of phased agitation programmes. The entire BJP organisation continuously mounted pressure on the state government to ensure an impartial investigation.
He further stated that the BJP had also announced several protest programmes, including a Jharkhand bandh and candle march. According to him, the continuous agitation by the BJP and its ST Morcha ultimately forced the state government to recommend a CBI probe into the case.
The BJP state president expressed confidence that a CBI investigation would bring out the complete truth. He said all circumstances surrounding Nisha Bhagat's death, including the events preceding her suicide, must be thoroughly and impartially investigated. He alleged that attempts were made by certain individuals to malign her character, which reportedly caused her severe mental distress.
Aditya Sahu said the BJP believes that a CBI investigation will ensure justice for Nisha Bhagat's family. He asserted that everyone found guilty in the case must face strict legal action and that no culprit should be spared under any circumstances.
