BJP Petitions Jharkhand Governor for CBI Probe Into Hansda Killing and Halt to RIMS-II Land Takeover

The opposition frames the actions as proof of state bias against tribal communities.

Overview

  • A BJP delegation led by Babulal Marandi met Governor Santosh Gangwar in Ranchi and submitted memorandums on two disputes.
  • The party demanded a CBI probe into Surya Hansda’s 11 August death, alleging a staged police encounter.
  • Its memo asserted Hansda had no convictions and that 14 of 24 police-cited cases against him had been dismissed.
  • The BJP sought an immediate stop to RIMS‑II construction in Nagdi, alleging unlawful takeover of fertile tribal farmland and urging withdrawal of cases against protesting farmers.
  • The submissions cited a 24 August lathi‑charge and tear gas in Nagdi and requested protection for Hansda’s family, with no response from the Governor reported.
