In the Parbhani area of Maharashtra, India, a man lit his wife on fire after she gave birth to their third daughter, according to authorities on Saturday, December 28, 2024.
The event happened Thursday night in Gangakhed Naka, which is roughly 520 miles from Mumbai, and was seen on a local CCTV camera.
According to a complaint made by her sister, the accused, Kundlik Uttam Kale (32), frequently quarrelled with his wife, Maina, about their three daughters.
Kale doused Maina with petrol and lit her ablaze during one of these arguments.
While neighbours tried to put out the fire, Maina screamed and fled the house.
Kale has been arrested by the Gangakhed police on murder accusations.
