After setting her two children afire, a 28-year-old woman committed suicide by setting her ablaze at Indus Colony on Thursday night.
According to the police, at around on Thursday, the house of security guard was found engulfed in fire after which the locals rescued the family members Durga Singh, her son Tarun (8) and daughter laxmi (6).
The victims were rushed to Hamidia hospital where the three succumbed to injuries. Before her death, the victim told the police that her husband used to harass her and he was not bothered about the household expenses.
The victim was not able to manage the house due to the financial problems. Raghuveer used to spend most of his earning on alcohol, she told police.
According to the police, the victim Durga Singh got married to Raghuveer few years ago but she never enjoyed a happy life as her husband was a drunkard and used to torture her physically and mentally.
Dejected by his inhumane behaviour the victim decided to take the extreme step when Raghuveer was not present in the house.
The victim’s husband Raghuveer Singh alias Pappu works as security guard at Indus Colony. At the time of the incident the husband of the victim was in Vidisha.
Based in the dying statement the husband of the victim has been arrested and the police have registered a case under Section 306 of the
CrPC and have started further investigation.
