A 15-year-old girl brutally set ablaze in Puri, Odisha, has been airlifted to AIIMS Delhi for advanced medical treatment following severe burns. The attack has stirred political tensions, as Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi pledged a thorough investigation to identify the perpetrators and ensure accountability.
Majhi emphasized the government's commitment to the victim's recovery and justice, amid rising concerns over women's safety in the state. Meanwhile, BJD Chief Naveen Patnaik sharply criticized the ruling BJP government, highlighting an alarming rise in violence against women across Odisha.
