A woman, who suffered burn injuries in the Rampurhat massacre in West Bengal's Birbhum district in March, died on Sunday morning while undergoing treatment, police said. With this, 10 people have died of burn injuries after their houses in Bogtui village were allegedly firebombed following the murder of local Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Bhadu Sheikh.


The woman was admitted to the hospital with 27 per cent burn injuries, a police officer told PTI. "She was discharged after her condition improved. But, she was again admitted to the Rampurhat Medical College and Hospital after her health condition started deteriorating. She died early morning on May 1," he said.
