Man sets his wife ABLAZE for giving birth to three daughters

A man set his wife on fire after she gave birth to their third daughter in Maharashtra’s Parbhani district, India.

The incident, which was caught on a nearby CCTV camera, occurred on Thursday night in Gangakhed Naka, about 520 kilometres from Mumbai.

Kundlik Uttam Kale, 32, often argued with his wife, Maina, over having three daughters, as detailed in a complaint filed by her sister. 

During one such argument, Kale poured petrol on Maina and set her on fire.

Maina ran out of the house screaming, and neighbours attempted to extinguish the flames. 

However, she suffered severe burns and died on the way to the hospital. 

The Gangakhed police have arrested Kale on charges of murder.
