Hemant Soren recommends CBI probe into Nisha Bhagat’s death case

PATNA Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren, on Tuesday (November 10, 2026), recommended to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), the death case of Tribal leader and social activist Nisha Kumari Bhagat. Nisha Bhagat on November 6, 2026, allegedly died by suicide in Jharkhand’s Ranchi shortly after going live on social media. The incident took place under the Pithoria Police station area. In her live broadcast she questioned the role of Hemant Soren’s government and certain individuals associated with land mafia, and the police.

Targeting the State government, she had said that if bringing the government’s shortcomings to public domain and exposing them is wrong, then she is now paying the price for it. During the live, she had also allegedly called up Pithoria PS SHO. Leader of the Opposition in Jharkhand Legislative Assembly Babulal Marandi on Saturday (November 7, 2026) demanded that the CBI look into the case. “The CBI will now investigate the Nisha Bhagat case.

Orders have been issued,” Mr. Soren said in a post on X on Tuesday (November 10, 2026).
