After the murder of 18-year-old student Pushpa Kumari Mahato, who was missing for eight months in Jharkhand’s Bokaro district, was revealed, the SP has suspended all the 28 policemen of the concerned Pindrajora police station with immediate effect.

Those suspended include 10 sub-inspectors, 5 ASIs, 2 constables and 11 constables. The police of this police station are facing serious allegations of diverting the investigation and benefiting the accused in the case of kidnapping and murder of Pushpa Mahato. Rekha Devi, a resident of Pindrajora police station area, had filed a complaint of kidnapping of her daughter Kumari Pushpa Mahato in August 2025. Even after months, when the police did not take any action in this matter, Rekha Devi filed a Habeas Corpus petition in the Jharkhand High Court.

During the hearing of the petition, the High Court last week summoned everyone from the SP to the DGP of the state, considering the matter very serious. The court strongly reprimanded the SP for negligence in the entire matter. After this, on the instructions of Bokaro SP Harvinder Singh, a special investigation team was formed under the leadership of City DSP. When the SIT started the investigation, the entire matter was sensationally revealed in just two days.

On the basis of technical evidence, call details and other facts, the police came to know that the girl was in contact with a young man named Dinesh Kumar Mahato. When the police detained Dinesh and interrogated him strictly, he told that the girl was pressurizing him for marriage. Troubled by this, on July 21, 2025, he took her to a deserted place under the pretext of killing her with a knife and hid the body in the bushes.

On Saturday, at the behest of the accused, the police recovered the skeletal remains of the deceased from the forest. Apart from this, the knife used in the murder, clothes worn at the time of the incident, four mobile phones and other evidence were recovered. The police have decided to conduct DNA test of the skeleton. The investigation of the SIT constituted by the SP revealed the shocking fact that the local police not only neglected the investigation but also tried to save the accused.

According to sources, during the investigation, indications of exchange of money by some policemen in exchange for providing protection to the accused have also been found, after which 28 policemen have been suspended simultaneously.
