Raees Khan, who was involved in last year's communal violence in Aliganj Chhabra of Baran district of Rajasthan, set his 22 years wife Muskan on fire by pouring petrol in broad daylight in Bhopal.
When the woman started screaming, the people around extinguished the fire with water. The woman's life was saved, but she suffered severe burns.
The two had a dispute over matrimonial issues. The husband had gone from Rajasthan to Bhopal with divorce papers. His in-laws' house is in Bhopal, where he carried out this incident.
According to the information, 22-year-old Muskan is a resident of Sajida Nagar, Bhopal. She was married in 2019 to Raees Khan, a resident of Aliganj, Rajasthan.
After marriage, Raees used to doubt Muskan when she spoke on the phone at home. Tired of all this, Muskan came to Madhya Pradesh's Bhopal four months ago to stay with her sister.
On Tuesday, Muskan received a call from her husband Raees to complete the divorce papers. She was going to complete the papers in the evening.
On the way, she met her husband Raees. Before Muskaan could understand anything, Raees poured the petrol kept in the bottle with him and set it on fire with the lighter.
Muskan started screaming when the people nearby ran and saved her life. Meanwhile, Raees fled from the spot.
CCTV footage has also come to the fore in the entire case. The police have registered a case of an attempt to murder on the basis of CCTV footage.
The investigation has started. At the same time, Muskan Khan told that her husband used to beat her on the streets every day.
Tired of all this, she decided to live separately. Although the accused is still absconding, the police are looking for him.
Due to the wisdom of the people, the woman's life was saved.
Communal violence broke out after two youths were stabbed to death and dozens of vehicles and shops vandalized in Chhabra town of Rajasthan's Baran district on April 11, 2021. The administration imposed curfew in the city and internet services were also suspended.
