Hemant Soren orders CBI probe into tribal activist Nisha Bhagat’s death

Tribal activist Nisha Bhagat died in Jharkhand on November 6, reportedly by suicide.

Chief Minister Hemant Soren has ordered a CBI investigation into her death.

Before she died, Bhagat went live on Facebook and accused the state government and land brokers of harassing her.

Her parents allege a conspiracy, and police registered a case against two people based on her father’s complaint.

The National Commission for Scheduled Tribes has given officials seven days to report on the case and warned of legal action if they do not comply.

The officer in charge of Pithoria police station was removed from his post after conspiracy allegations.

The CBI investigation is now the next step in examining the circumstances of Bhagat’s death.
