NEET aspirant death case: FSL prepares DNA profile of semen collected, two policemen suspended

Sun Jan 25 08:46:04 UTC 2026: # NEET Aspirant’s Death in Patna: Forensic Report Reveals Traces of Semen, Police Face Scrutiny

The Story:
A forensic report has revealed traces of semen on the clothes of a NEET (National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test) aspirant who died in Patna on January 11, 2026. The girl was found unconscious in a private hostel on January 6, 2026, and succumbed to her injuries five days later. The Special Investigation Team (SIT) was formed after the post-mortem report highlighted “physical injuries and marks of violence” and didn’t rule out sexual violence. This revelation contradicts earlier police statements that ruled out sexual assault.

The Patna police have now suspended two officers for failing to collect adequate information and take timely action. The SIT’s investigation is ongoing, with DNA profiling underway to match samples with the arrested hostel owner and other suspects. However, a medical board from Patna-AIIMS claims that the SIT has not provided all crucial documents needed for a comprehensive analysis.

Key Points:

• Forensic report detects traces of semen on the deceased NEET aspirant’s clothes.
• The aspirant was found unconscious on January 6, 2026, and died on January 11, 2026.
• Post-mortem report indicated “physical injuries and marks of violence.”
• Two police officials have been suspended for negligence in the initial investigation.
• Parents of the victim alleged sexual assault from the beginning, a claim initially denied by the police.
• Patna-AIIMS medical board claims the SIT hasn’t provided all necessary documents.

Key Takeaways:

• The discovery of semen provides crucial evidence suggesting a potential sexual assault, contradicting initial police assessments.
• The suspension of police officers points to serious lapses in the initial investigation, raising questions about potential mishandling of the case.
• The medical board’s complaint about missing documents suggests possible issues with the integrity or completeness of the ongoing investigation.
• Public trust in the investigation is crucial, and transparency from the SIT is essential to maintain confidence in the pursuit of justice.
• The handling of this case will likely have significant ramifications on the perception of safety and security for students, particularly young women, residing in private hostels.
