Estranged lover sets woman on fire
Earlier this month, an estranged lover had poured petrol on a woman and set her on fire, in Andhra Pradesh's Vijayawada district. Both the woman and her estranged lover died as she had held him tight while burning. According to police, the man, Nagabhushanam, had been in contact with the woman for over three years. She, however, later distanced herself from him.
On the night of October 12, Nagabhushanam attacked the woman, who used to work as a nurse at a COVID-19 care centre. An argument broke out between them and after an altercation, he poured petrol on her and set her ablaze. She held him tight while screaming. Locals then intervened and separated them.
While the woman died on the spot, Nagabhushanam was rushed to the hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries the following day.
