Murmu completed her degree in Mechanical Engineering from [[Siksha 'O' Anusandhan]] University, [[Bhubaneswar]], in 2017. She had been preparing for competitive exams when she was approached by the BJD, through her maternal uncle Harmohan Soren, to contest from the constituency of Keonjhar. Being a reserved tribal constituency, the BJD was looking for an educated woman to contest from here.<ref name="IEHumiliation2019" /><br />

Some discrepancies were found in her father’s name, which the BJP brought up with the Chief Electoral Officer. She was also the victim of an [[Deepfake pornography|obscene video featuring a morphed image of hers]] which was circulated on social media.<ref name="IEHumiliation2019" /><br />
