NAGPUR: Nandanvan police have registered a case of accidental death after a 37-year-old woman set herself on fire and died of burn injuries at her Vyankatesh Nagar residence on Friday afternoon. Family sources claimed that Srujana Lachelwar, who was declared dead at the Government Medical College and Hospital, had been mentally disturbed and was under medication.
Srujana’s husband Padmakar, a bullion trader from Itwari, too suffered burn injuries while trying to save her. The couple have an eight-year-old son. No suicide note was found by the police.
The family was fast asleep when Srujana took the drastic step by pouring kerosene on herself early in the morning. The neighbours alerted the police who rushed to the place and sent a seriously injured Srujana to GMCH. Close family members claimed that there was no tiff in the family that could have led to the incident.
