Ranchi, Nov 13: A delegation of several tribal organisations on Friday met Jharkhand Governor Santosh Kumar Gangwar and sought his intervention for the immediate arrest of those named in the Nisha Kumari Bhagat death case, along with an impartial investigation into the matter.
The delegation, led by Bablu Munda, included representatives of the Central Sarna Committee, Tribal Security Forum and Jharkhand Tribal Sarna Vikas Samiti. It submitted a memorandum to the Governor, urging him to take necessary steps to ensure action against the accused named in the case.
According to the memorandum, Nisha Kumari Bhagat had lodged written complaints at Pithoria Police Station on July 3, 2026, alleging extortion and death threats. She had also submitted a complaint at the Cyber Police Station in Ranchi on July 13 regarding the same concerns, the delegation stated.
