AHMEDABAD: Pinki Marwari, 28, a resident of Khodiyar Mandir in New Ranip, was set ablaze by her lover Pappu Marwari on Thursday night. She has been admitted to the civil hospital. Based on the statement given by Pinki to Sabarmati police a complaint of attempt to murder has been registered and Pappu has been arrested.
Police officials said: “Pinki is married and lives in New Ranip with her husband Kiran since the last five years. Kiran used to suspect that Pinki is having an affair with her old flame. When domestic squabbles peaked Kiran recently left Pinki and is now staying at his native place in Rajasthan.”
After this development Pappu started paying regular visits to Pinki’s house, said police. During the last fortnight Pappu too started suspecting that Pinki is involved in another illicit relationship with another person.
On Thursday night the couple fought bitterly over the issue. This testimony was borne by neighbours who heard the angry voices.
During the fight, in a fit of rage Pappu splashed kerosene on Pinki and set her on fire. While he quickly made away from the place neighbours rushed in to help Pinki. Doctors said that the woman has suffered 50 per cent burns.
