Meanwhile, a video of the accused smirking in police custody has surfaced online, triggering uproar.
Prohibitory orders have been put in place in Jharkhand's Dumka following massive protests over the death of a class 12 girl who was set on fire by her alleged stalker because she rejected his romantic advances. The case has turned political because the victim and the accused are from different communities. Opposition BJP has slammed the Chief Minister for "neglecting" women's safety.
The state has said the case will be fast-tracked. Chief Minister Hemant Soren announced that a top cop (Additional Director General of Police level) will supervise the case; he also announced Rs 10 lakh as monetary compensation for the family of the victim.
The victim, who succumbed to injuries after being set ablaze by the accused named Shahrukh for allegedly turning down his proposal, was cremated on Monday morning.
She was attacked on August 23.
