In a fervent appeal for justice, a Jharkhand BJP delegation met Governor Santosh Kumar Gangwar, demanding a CBI inquiry into the controversial police encounter killing of tribal leader Surya Hansda. Leading the charge, BJP state president Babulal Marnadi accused the JMM-led coalition of orchestrating Hansda's murder under the guise of a police operation.
The contentious encounter, which occurred on August 11, 2025, in Godda district, has ignited widespread protest, notably in the state assembly, where BJP opposition disrupted proceedings. The National Commission for Scheduled Tribes has intervened, seeking a detailed report from the local police.
The BJP's memorandum to the Governor criticized the alleged 'planned murder' of Hansda, highlighting his legacy as a social and political activist. Accusations of political pressure influencing the police actions were directed at the Chief Minister's representative, intensifying the demands for a thorough investigation.
