HYDERABAD: A 40-year-old housewife doused her husband in kerosene and set him ablaze at their house in Malkajgiri on Saturday night.
N Raghu, 45, a realtor from Maruti Nagar in Malkajgiri, was burnt alive by his wife Pushpa, police said. On Saturday at around 9.30 pm, Raghu reached home in an inebriated condition and straightaway went to sleep. After a while,Pushpa asked her children to go to a nearby grocery store to fetch rice.
"Immediately after the children left the house, Pushpa poured kerosene on Raghu, who was fast asleep, and set him ablaze. Raghu died on the spot after sustaining 90% burns," Malkajgiri sub-inspector S Shivalingam told TOI. After committing the crime, Pushpa fled the scene. According to the SI, Pushpa was addicted to alcohol and used to quarrel with Raghu for money.
"Family members told us that for the last one week Raghu had not given her any money. We suspect that she might have committed the crime in a fit of rage," the SI added. Raghu and Pushpa have three children, Tulasi, Shanta and Sampath. A case has been booked against Pushpa under Section 302 (Murder) of the Indian Penal Code ( IPC).
In another incident, a 32-year-old painter, Pavan Kumar of Chintalmet in Rajendranagar, was bludgeoned to death by assailants near a local toddy compound on Saturday night.
"The assailants killed Pavan by striking him on the head with bricks," police said.
