Amba Prasad (former MLA and national secretary of the All India Congress Committee) has vocally criticized the Jharkhand Police's investigation into the rape and murder of a 13-year-old girl in Kusumba village, Jharkhand, India. During a press conference, she demanded an immediate Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe, labeling the police's 'human sacrifice' theory as a 'concocted work of fiction'. The girl went missing on the night of March 24 while attending a local Ram Navami procession, and her body was discovered the following morning with severe head injuries and evidence suggesting rape. Prasad pointed out significant procedural gaps in the police investigation, including the absence of forensic reports and inconsistencies in the timeline of events. The Jharkhand High Court has taken cognizance of the case and is seeking a detailed report from the state administration. Political tensions have escalated, with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) initially planning protests but later calling them off after arrests were made. The case highlights concerns about the integrity of the police investigation and the treatment of the victim's family, particularly the mother, who has been accused in connection with the crime.
