Outrage sweeps Jharkhand after a teenage boy’s valiant effort to protect a girl from molesters resulted in his stabbing death in Dumka. The savage assault injured two more, igniting debates on public safety and youth vulnerability.
Eyewitness accounts describe the horrifying sequence: the boy, just 15, challenged the harassers boldly. Enraged, they drew knives, attacking not just him but anyone intervening. The scene turned bloody, with screams echoing through the lanes.
Medical teams battled in vain to save the young life, as he had sustained critical wounds to vital organs. The injured were operated on successfully, but trauma lingers. Law enforcement has invoked stringent laws, including POCSO angles if applicable.
Community meetings are underway, with demands for vigilante groups and women’s helplines. Political figures visited the family, pledging support and probes into police inaction. Media coverage amplifies calls for nationwide anti-harassment drives.
This loss of innocence urges reflection: how can society empower youth without endangering them? As funerals proceed amid tears, Dumka vows to transform pain into action for safer streets.
