Due to the lack of corroborative evidence, police are holding off on drawing conclusions and are awaiting the girl's recovery to collect a clearer statement. A key witness who was nearby during the incident also stated that no motorcycle was seen around that time.
Initially, the investigation relied on the teenager's account and her mother's complaint, which accused three unknown men of attacking the girl with a flammable substance. However, with no definitive leads, police are now considering all possible scenarios. Multiple people, including locals, known associates of the girl, and individuals with criminal records, have been questioned, but authorities have yet to uncover any breakthrough.

Balasore self-immolation: ‘Hero' student, aide arrested for abetment
Image Credit: PTI BHUBANESWAR: The Crime Branch investigation into the recent self-immolation of a 20-year-old college student in Balasore took a dramatic twist on Monday following the arrest of two students, including one previously hailed as a hero for reportedly trying to save her, on charges of abetment. Investigators found that both students had allegedly instigated the victim to take the extreme step after college authorities failed to address her sexual harassment complaint against the Head of Department (HoD). 'Strong evidence of abetment to suicide led to their arrests,' confirmed IGP, S Shyni of the Crime Against Women and Children's Wing, to TOI. Investigations revealed that the student who claimed to have attempted rescue actually sustained burns while recording the incident on his mobile phone from close proximity. 'Multiple video clips of the incident were recovered from his phone,' another Crime Branch official said. The suspect had earlier garnered public sympathy and media attention for his supposed rescue attempt. While receiving treatment at SCB Medical College and Hospital in Cuttack for 15% burns, he had recounted: "I rushed toward her when she lit the match, but the flames spread instantly, burning my face and clothes before I could reach her." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The incident occurred on July 12 when the victim, protesting against the administration's inaction on her sexual harassment complaint, doused herself in petrol and self-immolated outside the principal's office.
