Jaipur: A 30-year old
married woman was burnt alive for resisting rape in Rajasthan's
Hanumgarh district Saturday, police said.
According to police, the incident took place early Saturday at the
district's Nohar area, some 500 km from Jaipur.
Circle Officer Kishori Lal said that the woman was sleeping along
with her four-year daughter, while her husband was working in the
farm when the accused, identified as Jitendra Kumar alias Jitu,
sneaked into her house and tried to rape her.
"When she resisted and started screaming loudly, he poured
kerosene on her body and set her on fire," said the officer.
The husband rushed to the house from the farm hearing the screams
and tried to save her, but himself sustained burns in his bid, the
officer said.
"The woman succumbed to injuries at a hospital around 11 a.m.
today (Saturday). We had recorded her dying statement. We have
rounded up Jitendra and he is being interrogated," said the
officer.
