दुमका में हुई घटना से मर्माहत हूँ। उक्त मामले में आरोपी को गिरफ्तार कर लिया गया है साथ ही मैंने @DumkaPolice को न्याय सुनिश्चित करने हेतु सख्त कानूनी कदम उठाने का निर्देश दिया है। परमात्मा दिवंगत बिटिया को शांति प्रदान कर शोकाकुल परिवार को यह विकट घड़ी सहन करने की शक्ति दे।

Hemant Soren said, “Incidents happen. Where do they not take place? How should we look at these incidents?” He further said that he has expressed his thoughts in the tweet he posted a day before. Notably, Dumka is a long-held stronghold of Hemant Soren and his family. The Chief Minister has tried to stop protests against such incidents in the past by imposing section 144 whenever he could.
A 14-year-old tribal girl was raped and hanged from a tree by a certain Arman Ansari. Babulal Marandi, former Chief Minister of the state and leader of the opposition in the current assembly, shared this news from his Twitter handle. The accused Arman Ansari has been arrested in this case.
दुमका से यह खबर खून खौला देने वाली है। आरोप है कि इस आदिवासी युवती को कल अरमान अंसारी नाम के युवक ने बलात्कार के बाद हत्या कर पेड़ पर लटका दिया है?

अरमान की गिरफ़्तारी हो गई है।
और कितनी आदिवासी युवतियां ऐसे दरिंदों का शिकार होगी झारखंड में? @BJP4India @HMOIndia pic.twitter.com/0M3HUTfBOu
This is not the first gruesome murder to come to light from Dumka recently. Late last month, a teenage girl was burnt alive while sleeping in her home by Shahrukh Hussain and his friend for ignoring his advances. As per reports, Dumka is becoming a hub of such cases thanks to indoctrination by banned Jihadi organizations from Bangladesh.
