Dumka, October 7
A 22-year-old girl was set ablaze in Jharkhand’s Dumka district early on Friday allegedly by a person whose marriage proposal she had rejected, a police officer stated.
The girl, a resident of Bhalki village in Jarmundi space, was rushed to an area hospital by relations, the officer stated.
The accused, already married, has been arrested, Shivender Thakur, sub-divisional police officer (SDPO), Jarmundi, informed PTI.
This comes weeks after one other minor woman within the district was set on hearth allegedly by a person for spurning his advances. The woman died days later.
According to Thakur, “A local man, who wanted to marry the victim, had entered her home on Friday morning, poured petrol on her when she was asleep, and set her ablaze.
“She was rushed to Phulo Jhano Medical College and Hospital by relations, and medical doctors later referred her to Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS).”
Last month, a 14-year-old tribal woman was discovered hanging from a tree in Dumka, along with her mom claiming that she was raped and killed.
The two incidents in Dumka involving minor women are at present being probed by varied our bodies together with National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) and the National Commission for Women (NCW).
