The teenage girl was attacked on August 5 and was being treated at the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), Ranchi.
A medical board of the state government-run hospital referred her to AIIMS, New Delhi on Tuesday after examining various test reports, an official of the health facility said.
Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren had directed officials concerned to extend all support to the girl and her family.
The government has already provided Rs 1 lakh to the girl's family as assistance, a statement from the Chief Minister's Office said.
"Sister Kajal has been sent to Burn Ward of AIIMS Trauma Centre, New Delhi. Praying to God that she returns soon after recovery," Soren had retweeted a post by state Health Minister Banna Gupta.
The girl's mother, who was also injured in the attack, said, "Stringent punishment should be given to the accused who resides around 2.5 km from our village Dhebo. He was harassing my daughter for the last two-three months." The accused has been arrested.
