The incident comes days after a Class 12 student was set ablaze allegedly by her stalker, Shahrukh, leading to massive political and social outrage in a state that is scrambling to avoid an overthrow of its elected government.
Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren, caught in the middle of an illegal mining scam, is grappling to retain his MLAs from being poached by the BJP. Several MLAs of the ruling coalition, nearly 40, have been flown to neighbouring Chhattisgarh - a Congress-ruled state - to prevent any defections.
