A man succumbed to his burn

into an altercation over the
issue very often.
Few days ago, Ashtami
went to her parents’ house
following a dispute with her
husband.
On Wednesday night, Rony
went to his in-laws house,
as his wife called him over
phone in the evening to take
her back.
When he reached there, an
altercation ensued between
Rony and his in-laws family
members, including his wife
and mother-in-law Arati Rani.
At one stage of the quarrel,
Ashtami and her family members
tied Rony’s hands and
legs and set him on fire after
pouring petrol on his body,
alleged the family members
of Rony.
Locals rushed him to the
hospital in critical condition.

received burn injuries, he
died as his respiratory tract
was burned.

brother of the deceased, said
he submitted a written complaint
to Badarganj police station
in this connection.
However, Akhtaruzzaman
Prodhan, officer-in-charge
of the police station, told the
