In a tragic incident on Friday, a 22-year-old woman in Jharkhand's Dumka district was set ablaze allegedly by a man whose marriage proposal she had rejected.
According to police officials, the woman, a resident of Bhalki village in the Jarmundi area, was rushed to a local hospital by family members after the incident. The accused, already married, has been arrested, Shivender Thakur, a sub-divisional police officer (SDPO), in Jarmundi, told PTI.
This incident comes just a few weeks after another minor girl in the district was set on fire allegedly by a man for disregarding his advances. The girl 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 family members, and doctors later referred her to Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS)."
