Sexually unsatisfied wife sets husband on fire in Etah

Vijay Upadhayay
Etah. Unable to satisfy his wife sexually, a man was set on fire by his wife in Etah, though the burning husband also gripped his wife before he collapsed. They are struggling for their lives in a hospital in Aligarh.

The residents of Gangagarh, a village in the Soron area of Etah, were pulled out of their afternoon slumber recently when they heard the dreadful screams of Munesh Yadav, coming from his house. Arriving hurriedly at his door, the villagers found both Munesh and his wife Savita lying in the courtyard, badly burnt and on death throes.

The couple was rushed to a local hospital where Mr Yadav, who had received almost 80 per cent burn injuries, revealed that his wife set him afire. He said Savita overpowered him in his sleep and tied his hands and feet with ropes, then set him on fire by pouring kerosene.

Mr Yadav said that he married Savita in 2002 and since then they had been living in the village. Soon after the wedding, he realised he could not satisfy Savita sexually and as a result, she soon began to refuse his authority on the household.

In 2005, she gave birth to a girl who died soon after. That further increased her antics and she even tried to burn him then. He said he could not resist his wife's attempts as he was weak due to an illness and she was quite strongly built. He said that if it had not been for the villagers who arrived on time, he would have been dead.

But this time, he was caught in his sleep and Savita tied him up. According to Mr Yadav, when he saw his wife overjoyed to see him burn, he was filled with anger. And as soon as the ropes burned away in the fire, he ran towards her and gripped her, setting her afire.

He said that he was not repentant on what he did to his wife, as it was probably the best punishment that anyone could have devised for her crime.

According to Kasganj DSP AK Singh, the couple was rather badly burnt in their self-inflicted fire and were in critical condition at the Aligarh Medical College.

He said the couple had registered their statements before the magistrate in which they had revealed the truth about the incident but there was little probability of the couple's survival considering the extent of burns and the police could only register the case once at least one of them is declared out of danger.

Woman torched to death by inlaws on International Women's Day in India

AGRA.               It could serve as a well-placed slap in the face of the the groups of so-called women's rights activists who all too recently celebrated International Women’s Day, fervently praising the contribution made by women to the society and vowing to prevent violence against the feminine gender comfortably ensconced in luxurious clubs and hotels.    While the world was busy celebrating women’s day, a young girl was murdered in cold-blood, torched to death by her in-laws in Kayamganj town of Farrukhabad district of Uttar Pradesh, alongwith a 6-month fetus inside her, just three years after marriage.    Two weeks have passed since the grisly murder but the local police appears to be in no hurry to catch the absconding in-laws who doused the girl in kerosene and left her to burn and die on the street, making good their escape while the locals awaited for the police to arrive. Meanwhile, the victim’s mother Archana Sharma has suffered from a strok

My views on Libya, India and the permanent SC seat

On Wednesday, the British government 'de-recognized' the Gaddafi government and decided that it was in the interest of democracy to recognize the Libyan rebels as the only legal representative of the Libyan people. Immediately after that, the British Police entered the Libyan embassy in London and forced the remaining Libyan diplomats out of UK. France has already been parachuting modern weaponry, arms and ammunition to the Libyan rebel strongholds and both France and the United States have recognized the rebels as the legal Libyan representative power. While I am not a fan of Gaddafi or his regime in any way or form but I am equally disappointed in NATO's tactics and the double standards being played by the western powers in the Arab world. Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein had been two sore patches in the otherwise near-sweeping 'western conquest' of the Arab world and its oil. Only now, when a group of disenchanted Libyans, trained and provided for by wes

Vishal Sharma / Agra December 29, 2008, 0:00 IST Govardhan Udyog plans to use cowdung to produce particle board. Faced with the task of developing environment-friendly technology for industry due to guidelines issued by the Supreme Court, entrepreneurs in Agra are realising the cost-effective potential of such technologies and innovations. Govardhan Udyog is one such unit which plans to use a non-conventional raw material, cowdung, to produce particle board and pharmaceutical products. The unit was inaugurated this week on the Agra-Delhi national highway near the Mathura refinery, about 55 km from Agra. Company sources said the basic raw material used in the manufacture of particle board will be cow dung. This will perhaps make it the first particle board manufacturing facility using cowdung as the raw material. Govardhan Udyog Managing Director SK Mittal said particle boards were emerging as a viable alternative in designing office furniture and automation products in the country as c
