A 32-year-old Indian man in Maharashtra’s Parbhani district has been arrested for allegedly pouring petrol on his wife and setting her ablaze after she gave birth to their third daughter.
The tragic event took place in Gangakhed Naka, approximately 520 kilometres from Mumbai, on Thursday night, according to local police.
According to Indian Today, the accused, Kundlik Uttam Kale, reportedly had a history of taunting his wife, Maina, over the fact that she had given birth to three daughters.
The police revealed that Kale frequently argued with his wife on the matter, as stated in a complaint filed by Maina’s sister.
“On Thursday night, after one such argument, he poured petrol on her and set her ablaze. She ran out of the house screaming where people tried to douse the fire. However, by then, she was severely burnt and died while being rushed to a hospital,” an official said.
Kale has since been arrested on charges of murder, according to authorities at the Gangakhed police station.
