In a shocking incident, a 23-year-old woman was allegedly set on fire by her live-in partner in Karnataka’s Bengaluru.
According to Times of India, the victim has been identified as Vanajakshi. She succumbed to her burn injuries at a hospital where she was admitted for treatment. Police arrested her live-in partner, Vithal, a cab driver, within 24 hours.
The accused also sustained burn injuries during the incident. The couple had been staying together, but of late Vanajakshi was living separately due to his habit of regular alcohol consumption.
Police said the accused intercepted Vanajakshi’s car while she was traveling with her relative and a driver. Vithal tried to pour petrol on her when the car stopped at a signal. The other occupants soon fled from the vehicle, but Vithal chased Vanajakshi down and set her ablaze.
