Days after a 17-year-old NEET aspirant found dead under mysterious circumstances in Kota of Rajasthan, the father of the teenager approached the National Commission for Minorities (NCM), alleging that he was murdered. Following the complaint, the NCM wrote to Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot demanding the investigation to be done by the Special Investigation Team (SIT).
According to a communique from the NCM, Harjot Singh Chhabra, a resident of Rampur in Uttar Pradesh, appeared before the Chairman of the Commission requesting for justice in the case of “brutal killing of his 17-year-old son Manjot Singh Chhabra in Kota” earlier this month. The Commission has also received a representation from Gurpreet Singh, Regional President, BJP Minority Front, Uttar Pradesh, regarding the same case.
“It is informed that the deceased student was undertaking coaching for the medical entrance examination and was found dead with his face wrapped in a plastic bag and hands tied on 3.8.2023. Initially, it was suspected to be a case of suicide. However, later the father alleged that his son was killed,” the NCM said.
