The Jharkhand High Court has taken suo motu cognisance of the alleged rape and murder of a 12-year-old girl at Bishnugarh, Hazaribag, issuing a notice to the state administration and police. The division bench acted upon media reports detailing the tragic incident.
The girl's body was discovered in a field on March 25, after she and her mother attended a Ram Navami procession in their village. The family alleges abduction in the FIR, prompting a swift response from Jharkhand DGP Tadasha Mishra, who has formed a three-member SIT to lead the investigation.
The BJP is actively protesting this heinous act, organizing a 12-hour bandh in Hazaribag and rallies in Ranchi advocating for justice. The opposition party criticizes the state government's failure to ensure women's safety, highlighting deteriorating law and order conditions.
