RAJKOT: Two-year-old girl, who was set ablaze by her mother who had committed suicide along with her and her one-year-old son, succumbed to burn injuries at a government hospital here on Monday.

Police said Ayesha Memon, 28, resident of Noorani Chowk in Jangaleshwer, doused herself her daughter Afroz and son Afran with kerosene and set them ablaze before committing suicide on Sunday afternoon.

"Our investigation revealed that Ayesha was prompted to take the drastic step, following an altercation with her husband Imran over a trivial issue. All the victims were rushed to the hospital in a serious condition. While Ayesha died on Sunday itself, her daughter Afroz succumbed to burn injuries on Monday morning. Her son Afran is still battling for his life," said a Bhaktinagar police station official.
