Girl on fire was screaming for help: Witness

Dukshishyam Senapati, a resident of Balanga, said he could not believe his eyes when he opened the door after hearing the knocks and the screams.

“The girl was on fire and screaming in pain,” Senapati told Director General of Police (DGP) YB Khurania, who visited the spot, trying to make sense of the sequence of events that unfolded in the nondescript village Saturday morning.

“Tt was around 8:30am when the girl came to my house, screaming. With the help of my wife, I doused the fire and gave her water as she was very thirsty. Later, the women of my family changed her clothes,” he said.
