Gumla, November 11, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
The parents of tribal leader Nisha Bhagat have welcomed the decision to order a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into her death, expressing hope that the investigation will uncover the truth and bring those responsible to justice.
Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren ordered the CBI investigation following demands from the family. Nisha’s parents, however, alleged that her death was the result of a conspiracy and raised questions about the police response to the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Speaking to IANS, Nisha’s mother said her daughter regularly contacted the family but had not called on the day of her death. She questioned why the local police inspector had not visited the spot despite being informed.
She also alleged that the police had earlier refused to register a complaint in a separate case. Rejecting the possibility of suicide, she said the family suspected collusion and wanted both the state and central governments to ensure justice.
Nisha’s father also welcomed the CBI probe, expressing confidence that those who allegedly instigated, harassed or conspired against his daughter would face action. He specifically named land-related figures, including Ajay Tirkey, while alleging their involvement in a conspiracy. These allegations have not been independently established.
The decision also drew support from political leaders in Jharkhand. Congress leader Surendra Rajput described the CBI probe as a positive step, saying it would help address concerns over law and order and prevent rumours surrounding the case. He also accused the BJP and its allies of politicising the incident.
Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) leader Manoj Pandey said the government had acted on the demands made by Nisha’s father, including a CBI investigation and the suspension of the station house officer (SHO).
Pandey said the government’s priority was to ensure that those responsible were identified and punished, adding that while Nisha could not be brought back, justice must be delivered.
The CBI probe is expected to take the investigation beyond the state police inquiry. The allegations raised by the family will be subject to investigation.
