Feb 27, 2019

HYDERABAD: A stalker set a young woman on fire in Warangal district on Wednesday allegedly for rejecting his proposal for marriage. According to police, the accused had been harassing the victim for long.

The woman has sustained 90 per cent burn injuries. She is presently hospitalised.

In the morning when the victim, Ravali, a final year BSc student, was going to her college the accused, Avinash, her classmate, stopped her at Nayeem Nagar and demanded her to marry him. "As she rejected his proposal, the accused, who was carrying petrol concealed in his bag, poured it on her and set her ablaze," said Hanamkonda, ACP, Chandraiah, told reporters.

"Though there were enough people around, they couldn't come to the victim's rescue. Only after she fell down, the crowd rushed to help her. They were all scared," he said.

The attacker threatened passersby and fled the spot, police said.

This is second such incident in Telangana this month. Earlier this month, a girl was critically injured after her alleged stalker stabbed her repeatedly in broad daylight in Hyderabad.
