PATNA: A Special CBI Court in Patna on Monday rejected the bail plea of Manish Ranjan, owner of the Shambhu Girls Hostel building, in connection with the death of a NEET aspirant in the Bihar capital.

The hearing lasted for nearly two and a half hours, during which a heated exchange reportedly took place between counsel for the victim’s family and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

The victim’s counsel once again alleged negligence and lapses in the investigation.

The NEET aspirant, a native of Jehanabad district, was found unconscious at the Shambhu Girls Hostel in the Chitragupt Nagar locality of Patna on January 6. She was initially admitted to a hospital and later shifted to a private medical facility, where she succumbed to her injuries on January 11.
