In a shocking incident in Telangana's Mahbubabad, a man reportedly poured petrol on his girlfriend and set her on fire, later attempting to self-immolate, leading to both suffering severe burns.
A horrific incident occurred in Mahbubabad district, Telangana, where a man named Kunta Anjaya allegedly doused his girlfriend, Banoth Padma, in petrol and ignited her, before attempting to set himself on fire as well. Both individuals are currently undergoing treatment for severe burns at the district headquarters hospital. Anjaya, a local milk shop owner whose wife passed away two years ago, had been in a relationship with Padma, but suspicions arose in recent months over Padma's alleged closeness to her husband, leading to escalating tensions between the couple.
The police reported that Anjaya's increasing jealousy and suspicion regarding Padma's relationship with her husband prompted a tragic confrontation on Wednesday. Padma was visiting her mother in the Pragat Nagar area when Anjaya arrived, reportedly armed with a bottle of petrol, leading to the fatal incident. This shocking act has left the local community in disbelief, casting a long shadow over their perception of relationships and trust.
This incident not only reflects the grave issue of domestic violence but also raises critical questions about mental health and emotional instability in personal relationships. The ongoing investigation will aim to address underlying issues and shed light on the circumstances that prompted such a tragic escalation, as the victims continue their fight for recovery in the hospital.
