“CM Hemant Soren ji, I am telling you again and again, the roots of love jihad have become very strong in Jharkhand and such conspirators are active from Santal to all parts of the state. These people make tribal and Dalit minors victims. Such elements are also being funded internationally. These conspirators are bent on destroying the identity and social fabric of Jharkhand. You have the responsibility of the state, to do your duty, by marking such elements. Take strict action against those who nurture them,” Marandi said.
As per the tweet shared by him, the victim girl has been identified as Pooja and she belongs to the Dalit community. The accused continued to exploit the girl and pressured her to change her region. He also married her by concealing his identity and avoided introducing her to his family.
Marandi said that the girl was under massive pressure for the past several days which she could not handle. She was being pressured to convert her religion and ultimately she decided to end her life.
The accused in the case has been arrested by the police and is being interrogated. He has been charged under relevant sections of the law. Further investigations into the case are underway.
