Agra man visits in laws' house to bring his wife back, set on fire

Agra police have reported a woman and her family for dousing her husband with petrol and attempting to burn him alive. When the man went to his in-laws' home to bring his wife back home, the incident took place.

The victim's brother has reported the incident to the police, alleging that his sister-in-law, her brother, and her mother plotted to burn his brother Dharmendra alive.

The man is receiving treated at a hospital right now, and his condition is described as critical. The Trans-Yamuna Colony's Tevari Bagia neighbourhood is where the incident took place.

According to a police report, Preeti and Dharmendra were married on November 8, 2019. Lokesh, the victim's brother, claimed that Preeti and her family had not acted in a cordial manner throughout the duration of the marriage.

Despite being married, Preeti reportedly used to spend most of her time at home. Three months after Preeti left for her home, on July 18, 2023, Dharmendra went to meet her, ostensibly with the goal of returning her to her in-laws' home.

While Dharmendra was inside, Preeti, her mother Shilpa, and her brother Ajay Singh lit the house on fire using fuel. The neighbours responded to his cries for help and transported him to a hospital for treatment as soon as they heard him. His situation is still serious.

Preeti and her family have been charged with attempted murder by the police, and an additional investigation is ongoing.
