A 25-year-old woman was burnt alive allegedly by her husband and relatives at Hathras in Uttar Pradesh on Wednesday night. The incident occurred after the victim, Sonam, reportedly objected to her husband’s extra-marital relationship with another person.
Waheed Khan, a resident of Jama Masjid in Khair, had married his two daughters off to the sons of one Liaqat Ali from Lala Ka Nagla area in Hathras four years ago. While the elder daughter – Rehana (28) – was made to wed Sauqi, Sonam entered into a marital alliance with 26-year-old Mister.
