New Delhi: The special POCSO Court has on Thursday asked to send samples, or evidence, including burnt clothes of the minor girl who died after being set on fire in Dumka district of Jharkhand to Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) in Ranchi. The Protection of Children Against Sexual Offences Bill (POCSO) court has sent the two accused in the Dumka death case to 72-hour Police remand. The cops told the court that the duo needed to be confronted for further investigation. The Jharkhand police have added sections of POCSO Act in the case in which Class XII girl student died after being set ablaze in Dumka district of Jharkhand.

The incident led to widespread protests with agitators demanding speedy trial and death penalty for the accused. Two people, main accused Shahrukh and his accomplice Naeem Khan, have been arrested in connection with the case.
