It underlines the potential role of a CBI inquiry in restoring public confidence in the investigative process and ensuring justice prevails. Additionally, the memorandum calls for enhanced security measures and protection for witnesses, particularly the three female students who are believed to hold key information related to the case.
The BJP’s initiative to demand a CBI inquiry underscores its commitment to transparency, accountability, and upholding the principles of justice. By engaging with a critical issue that has garnered significant attention and concern, the party is positioning itself as a champion of the rule of law and the rights of the citizens of Sikkim.
