evidence: Protesters and politicians alike, including state health minister Banna Gupta of Congress, demanded capital punishment to the suspect arrested for the murder of Ankita, who battled 90% burns for six days before succumbing to her injuries in Ranchi on Sunday. Shahrukh, the prime accused, allegedly emptied a can of kerosene on her late Tuesday and burned her alive for spurning his advances, police said. [...] Governor Ramesh Bais, who has been ostensibly sitting on the Election Commission’s much-speculated recommendation to disqualify Soren for allegedly holding a mining lease while in office, questioned the state of law and order in Jharkhand, saying citizens weren’t feeling safe anymore."I had instructed the DGP (Niraj Sinha) to take certain measures. But nothing seems to have improved," he said. He said he had spoken to the girl’s parents and announced Rs 2 lakh as ex gratia. Late Monday, Soren announced Rs 10 lakh in compensation to Ankita’s family. [...] Meanwhile, Ankita’s octogenarian grandfather lit her pyre on the bank of the Mayurakshi river on Monday morning.
