In a shocking incident a man allegedly set his brother-in-law's two children and maternal uncle on fire after pouring petrol on them over a marital dispute with his wife on Tuesday afternoon in the Pataudi area of Gurugram.

The trio has been admitted to the Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi in critical condition. The entire incident was also captured in the CCTV camera installed in a nearby shop.

According to the police, the man Rinku (28) a resident of Rohtak had married Suman of Pataudi around ten years ago but due to a marital dispute the couple was living separately for the last seven years and Suman along with his 7-year-old son was living in her maternal house.

A legal dispute between Suman and Rinku is also reportedly pending in the court.

On Tuesday afternoon, at around 2.30 pm, Rinku reached his wife's house carrying petrol in a bottle. At that time Suman's two nephews - four-year-old Cheenu and eight-month-old Maanvi - were playing outside the house.
