Priyanka Gandhi Said Criminal Who Set A Class 12 Girl Ablaze In Dumka, Jharkhand “Should Be Given Punishment At The Earliest.”
I feel like the more I live in this country as a woman, the more scared I get for my own well-being. Each day, the news of crimes against women keeps piling on and these are the ones that are reported, the ones that go unreported freak me out even further. And clearly, by the recent release of the Bilkis Bano rapists, it is more evident than ever that India does not take safety for women seriously. At a time like this, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Rahul Gandhi have spoken about the class 12 Jharkhand girl who was set on fire because she kept rejecting his advances. This case is scary, to say the least.
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Rahul Gandhi, leaders of the Congress, demanded justice on Tuesday for a Class 12 student who died after being set ablaze by a man for refusing his advances. They also urged that the perpetrator of the crime be brought to justice as soon as possible. On August 23, the tragedy happened in the Dumka district of Jharkhand. According to the police, the suspect, named Shahrukh, allegedly doused the adolescent in gasoline while she slept and then lit her on fire.
Early on Sunday morning, the woman who was receiving treatment at Ranchi’s Rajendra Institute of Medical Science (RIMS) passed away. According to the former Congress leader, the girl and her family will only receive justice when the person responsible for this brutality receives the greatest punishment as soon as possible. He also advocated for making the nation a safe place for women. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, the general secretary of the Congress, said that the brutal murder of a 12-year-old girl is tragic and that the criminal should be punished as soon as possible.

Rahul Gandhi stated in a Hindi tweet that swift and severe legal proceedings in cases of crime against women are essential for both crime prevention and justice. The Jharkhand government on Monday gave the girl’s kin a compensation check for ₹ 9 lakh. The student passed away on Sunday from her burn wounds in a local government hospital. The National Commission for Women has also asked the police to provide a report on whatever actions they have taken within seven days.
अंकिता के साथ हुई हैवानियत के बाद उसकी मृत्यु ने हर भारतीय का सिर शर्म से झुका दिया है।
आज, देश में महिलाओं के लिए सुरक्षित माहौल बनाने की सख़्त ज़रुरत है।
अंकिता और उसके परिवार को न्याय तभी मिलेगा जब इस दरिंदगी को अंजाम देने वाले को जल्द से जल्द कड़ी सज़ा मिलेगी।
— Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) August 30, 2022
