The Dumka subdivision was subject to Section-144 due to the disturbance caused by the incident. Rallies, protests, and processions are prohibited without prior authorization, according to the police.

A 19-year-old teenager who was allegedly set on fire on August 23 by a person in Jharkhand's Dumka district after she rejected his proposal succumbed to her burn wounds in the early hours of Sunday (August 28). 

The suspect, Shahrukh, was detained after it was claimed that he doused the woman in gasoline and set her ablaze while she slept beside the window of her room.

The class 12 student was initially brought into Dumka's Phulo Jhano Medical College and Hospital in a serious condition with 90 per cent burns. She was later directed to Ranchi's Rajendra Institute of Medical Science (RIMS) for better care. 

As per Nitish Kumar, in charge of the Dumka Town Police Station, "The woman succumbed to burn injuries during treatment at RIMS, Ranchi, around 2.30 am on Sunday. Her body will be brought to Dumka after the post-mortem examination," quoted NDTV.
