BANGALORE: A man's craving to wed repeatedly took a ghastly turn when he set his second wife and their baby daughter on fire after she opposed his plan for a third marriage. V Chandana, 18 months old, was charred to death, while her mother, V Asha, was rushed toVictoria Hospital, where she is battling for life with 80% burns.
R Venugopal, who set his family afire, is absconding with his parents and brother.
Venugopal had identified a relative to become his third wife. But Asha opposed the marriage plan and filed a dowry harassment case.
Around 1pm on Tuesday, an infuriated Venugopal set his wife and their daughter on fire in their ground-floor residence in Manjunatha Layout, TC Palya, near K R Puram.
Hearing Asha and Chandana's screams, neighbours rushed in, doused the fire and called for help. Chandana died much before an ambulance arrived. Asha told police Venugopal set them on fire and fled.
