Patna:
A 27-year-old woman is battling for her life, while her three
minor children were killed after being set ablaze allegedly by her
husband and in-laws on charge of stealing jewellery in a Bihar
village, police said here Thursday.
Shinti Devi and her three minor children were set on fire late
Wednesday night in Arnia village in Vaishali district, which is
about 40 km from here.
A case has been lodged against the woman's husband and in-laws on
the basis of her statement, a police official said.
According to the woman's statement, the husband and in-laws first
locked her along with the children in a room, beat her and then
set them ablaze for allegedly stealing her sister-in-law's
jewellery.
She was rescued by her neighbours after they saw fire and smoke in
her house and informed the police.
The woman sustained serious burn injuries.
"She was referred to Patna medical college and hospital for
treatment after her condition deteriorated," the official said.
The accused are absconding since the incident.
