PATNA----------------------------Whether the NEET student's death was a suicide or murder is still under investigation, but the post-mortem report has revealed that a heinous act was committed against her. Patna police are now claiming a breakthrough is imminent, and they are only searching for one crucial piece of evidence.

The truth about whether the student's death at Shambhu Girls' Hostel in Patna was a suicide or murder is yet to be revealed. However, what happened to her has been clearly established in the post-mortem report. The station house officer, ASP, SP, and SSP Kartikeya Kumar, along with doctors from Prabhat Hospital, are under scrutiny. The family demands that these officers also be included as accused in the case for allegedly misdirecting the investigation and creating confusion. However, the police now claim that the case will be solved very soon, which will completely change the course of the investigation. The police say that the case is now reaching a decisive stage of investigation, where one piece of evidence will determine the direction of the entire case.

In the story so far, the station house officer gave a false report. The ASP and SP stated that the student committed suicide. The SSP, however, strongly asserted that the victim had not been subjected to any kind of physical torture. He stated that no incident of rape had occurred. He clearly denied that rape had taken place. He did mention that dozens of sleeping pills were recovered from the student's room, but it is not easy for an ordinary person to obtain sleeping pills.

After the post-mortem report came out and the Patna police faced criticism, they quickly arrested and jailed the hostel owner, Manish Raj alias Manish Kumar Ranjan. An SIT was also formed under the leadership of the IG. It is worth noting that Manish Raj alias Manish Kumar Ranjan, who was arrested and sent to jail, is a secondary accused. The family is outraged that the police have not questioned the hostel owners, Neelam Agarwal, Shravan Agarwal, and their son Anshu Agarwal. What information was obtained if an inquiry was conducted? And if no inquiry was conducted, then why the reluctance to question these individuals? The angry public is also asking under whose pressure the Patna police are acting, as they are misleading the investigation with false statements?

However, police information regarding the incident indicates that the investigation is now proceeding on three theories. The first theory is: what was the student's physical and mental condition when she arrived in Patna from Jehanabad? Did any unusual incident occur before or during the journey? The second theory is: did the student meet anyone else at another location in Patna after arriving there? Was she in a normal state when she returned to the hostel after visiting those places? And the third theory is: if the student was completely normal when she returned to the hostel, did the crime or suspicious incident occur inside the hostel premises, in a particular room?

To investigate these theories, the police are meticulously examining technical data, forensic evidence, call detail records (CDRs), mobile tower locations, deleted data, and movement patterns. The logic behind this is that, according to the police, there could be three possible crime scenes: the location before arriving in Patna, another location after arriving in Patna, and the girls' hostel. According to the police, the investigation is in its final stages; only one piece of evidence remains to be found.
