In Ranchi, police have registered a First Information Report (FIR) following a complaint lodged by Nisha Bhagat's father, Antu Bhagat, who alleged that his daughter took her own life due to sustained harassment and a coordinated defamation campaign. Ajay Tirkey and Jyotsna Kerketta have been identified as the accused in the case.
Antu, who described his daughter as a tribal activist and a warrior against the conversion mafia, claimed that Pithoria police station in-charge Satish Pandey and other police personnel had mentally harassed her. Antu emphasized that his daughter's death was not a result of a suicide but rather part of a criminal conspiracy. DSP Amar Kumar Pandey has been assigned to investigate the matter.
The complaint also alleged that Nisha was threatened with false case implications and targeted through a social media campaign aimed at tarnishing her reputation. She went live on Facebook, accusing the Jharkhand government and land brokers of harassing her. Despite being accused of harassment in the FIR, Satish Pandey has not been named as an accused.
The incident occurred on November 6, 2026, when Nisha, 38, allegedly died by hanging herself at her residence in Ranchi during a Facebook Live broadcast.
