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

VIJAY UPADHYAY ETAWAH/BHIND. For 30 years, he ruled the Chambal with a steady hand but weakened by age and continually dogged by the police, Nirbhay Gujjar, the last remaining edifice of the old stock of bandits from India’s own “Wild-Wild West”, may have at last taken a peaceful retirement in the Himalayas, that he was vying for a long time. Reports filtering in from the Chambal ravines of Etawah district of Uttar Pradesh and the adjoining Bhind of Madhya Pradesh indicate that this most feared bandit of Chambal has finally given up the ghost, following the rising waters of the river and the depleting strength of his gang due to regular encounters by the police of these two states. According to the residents of the villages of Etawah, Bhind & Kalpi, Jaloun districts, Nirbhay has not been seen in these parts for quite some time and his regular contacts in the villages are no longer active. The gang has even gone untraceable on the electronic surveillance net of the police. Sources
