The Jharkhand High Court directed the state government and the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) to ensure the treatment of the 13-year-old girl at the expense of the government in the court hearing on April 5.

The girl from Hazaribagh in Jharkhand was allegedly forced to drink acid in 2019 after she rejected the overtures of a man and was admitted to a nearby hospital as she started bleeding profusely from her mouth following the incident. She was shifted to the state-run RIMS in Ranchi, but her parents later took her to AIIMS-Patna for better treatment.
