Mangaluru, May 14: A 20-year-old woman breathed her last at a private hospital here recently after she set herself on fire due to alleged atrocities by her husband and in-laws.

The victim has been identified as Arshiya Banu, who had been staying with her mother and brother at a rented house at Turkalike Gundimane in Belthangady in Dakshina Kannada district since December.

In a statement given from the hospital bed to police from the Punjalakatte station, Arshiya alleged that her husband Asif and in-laws had begun harassing her physically and mentally after her marriage.

Police sources said Arshiya and Asif entered wedlock in March 2015. Asif is speech-impaired and a resident of Vittal. He works as a coolie. The couple has a one-and-a-half-year-old child. Arshiya and Asif were relatives, and the kin got them married to maintain alliances within the family.

Police said Arshiya had complained against her husband’s atrocities to her family three months into the marriage. However, she put up with Asif until December last year, after which she was no longer able to bear the trauma.

Though they were separated, Arshiya was upset about the break up. Unable to digest this fact, she set herself on fire at her rented house in the presence of her family members around 8.30 pm on March 2. She breathed her last on March 10. A case has been booked under the Dowry Prohibition Act at Punjalakatte station, and an investigation is in progress.
