Dumka: A video of minor Ankita Singh, who was burnt by a fire in Dumka, Jharkhand, has surfaced. In this video, Ankita is seen telling about the incident with her. The victim, who was undergoing treatment at the hospital, said her last words that as she is dying in agony, the culprit should also be given the same punishment. In the video recorded during treatment at the hospital, Ankita, who was burnt in the fire, is seen saying, "On Monday night, I told papa about Shahrukh. Dad said let's see it in the morning. But in the morning, he poured petrol on me from the window, set me on fire and fled. Shahrukh was accompanied by his friend Chotu Khan. I had seen the two running through the window.'' 

After recording her statement, the victim, Ankita, was sent to RIMS in Ranchi after first aid in Dumka on August 23. Ankita, who suffered 90 per cent burns, died last Saturday night. Shahrukh, the criminal who set Ankita on fire, was caught on Tuesday and his accomplice Chhotu Khan has also been arrested by the police. There has been tension in Jharkhand since Ankita's death. Hindu organisations have also held protests in other cities, including Dumka.
