Four people died during a liquor party in Bhedhna village, prompting locals to call for a CBI investigation and question the SIT set up by the SP.
A liquor gathering in the flood‑prone hamlet of Bhedhna turned deadly, leaving four individuals dead, according to local reports. The incident has sparked outrage among villagers, who allege that the Special Investigation Team (SIT) formed by the Sub‑Divisional Police Officer has not been transparent in its inquiry.
Family members of the deceased have publicly expressed doubt over the SIT's findings and have urged the state government to refer the case to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for an independent probe. They contend that a higher‑level investigation is essential to uncover any negligence or foul play.
The police have confirmed that the SIT is currently reviewing the circumstances surrounding the party, but have not released a detailed report. Meanwhile, community leaders have organized a petition demanding a CBI probe, citing concerns about procedural lapses and potential cover‑up.
Authorities have not yet responded to the petition, and the case remains under scrutiny as the village mourns the loss of its residents.
