The parents of a NEET aspirant in Bihar, whose death earlier this month triggered a controversy, on Friday alleged that the state police was trying to hush up the matter by denying sexual assault and claiming that it was a case of suicide.
High drama was seen outside the residence here of DGP Vinay Kumar, whom the bereaved parents, hailing from the neighbouring district of Jehanabad, met claiming that they had been “called” by the officer.
“Today, our hopes for justice have been dashed. The DGP said he is treating the case as that of suicide. He offered to arrange a meeting with Home Minister Samrat Choudhary if we were not satisfied. We are crestfallen”, the deceased’s mother told reporters.
The bereaved parents were accompanied by some other family members, including an uncle, Subhash, and their lawyer, SK Pandey.
