Agra Man Set On Fire By Wife And In-laws

In a tragic incident in Uttar Pradesh’s Agra, a woman allegedly doused her husband with petrol and set him on fire when he came to her parent’s home to take her back. The victim, identified as Dharmendra, succumbed to his injuries.

Following a complaint filed by the victim’s brother, the Agra Police registered a case against the woman. The incident took place in the Tevari Bagia area of the Trans-Yamuna Colony in Agra.

According to the complaint, Dharmendra married Preeti on November 8, 2019. However, since the early days of their marriage, Preeti and her family displayed strange behaviour, as reported by Hindustan Times. Preeti frequently spent extended periods at her parent’s place, and after three months, Dharmendra went to bring her back home.

Upon reaching his in-laws’ place, Preeti, her mother Shilpa, and her brother Ajay allegedly poured petrol on Dharmendra and attempted to set him on fire. Hearing his screams, the neighbours rushed to his aid and took him to the hospital for medical treatment.

Due to the severity of his burn injuries, Dharmendra was transferred to Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi for better medical care. Tragically, he passed away on Sunday afternoon in Delhi.

Initially registered under Section 307 (attempt to murder), the case will now be amended, and appropriate action will be taken by the authorities, according to Raj Kumar Goswami, the Sub-Inspector in charge at Trans Yamuna colony police.
