Indian Man Sets Wife On Fire Over Birth Of Third Daughter
On Saturday, December 28, 2024, police in Maharashtra’s Parbhani district reported that a man had set his wife on fire after the birth of their third daughter.
The terrible event happened Thursday evening in Gangakhed Naka, which is about 520 kilometers away from Mumbai. Authorities claim that a neighboring CCTV camera caught the act, offering terrifying proof of the cr+me.
According to reports, the accused, Kundlik Uttam Kale, 32, and his wife, Maina, frequently argued about their three daughters.
According to a complaint Maina’s sister filed, tensions increased during a heated argument in which Kale doused Maina with gasoline and set her on fir£.
As Maina fled the burning house, yelling for assistance, neighbors scrambled to her aid. They tried to put out the fir£, but she was badly burned and passed away from her wounds while being taken to the hospital.
Since then, Kale has been taken into custody by Gangakhed police on murder accusations. There has been a great deal of concern over the case, with many denouncing the pervasive gender bias that frequently results in violence against women in various regions of India.
While local officials have promised to carry out a comprehensive inquiry, advocates want strict measures to combat gender discrimination and shield women from such horrors.
