HYDERABAD: A 30-year-old man on Tuesday set his paramour's minor daughter ablaze to take revenge on the woman in Gajularamaram on the outskirts of the city. The seven-year-old girl, Bhavani, suffered severe burns in the incident and succumbed at hospital later.
The accused, Vijay, wanted to take revenge on his paramour Sujatha as he suspected that she was cheating on him.
On Tuesday morning, a petrol pump employee at Mahadevpuram near Gajularamaram noticed fire and smoke in an abandoned house.
Some of them rushed to the spot and found a mattress wrapped around a girl on fire. They also noticed Vijay, who was in an inebriated condition, hurrying away from the place. He was overpowered by the group.
Locals quickly put out the fire and shifted the girl, who by then had suffered severe burns, to a nearby hospital.
As the condition of the girl turned critical, she was then shifted to Gandhi Hospital with the assistance of police, where she succumbed to burns while undergoing treatment. Vijay was handed over to police.
After the death of her husband Chennaiah two years ago, Sujata came in contact with Vijay, a distant relative from her native place in Mahbubnagar district. Soon, their friendship turned into an affair, police said.
Vijay, who is a daily wager, used to frequently spend time at Sujata's house.
On Tuesday morning, Sujata left for work. Immediately, he picked up Bhavani along with the mattress she was sleeping on and sneaked out of the house.
He then cycled to an abandoned house at Gajularamaram, doused her in kerosene and set her ablaze. "The exact reason for his extreme act is yet to be ascertained," Jeedimetla inspector A Sanjeeva Rao said.
Police have booked a case against Vijay under section 302 (Murder) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
