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.

Bengaluru, Jan 5: BJP leader and Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa once again blamed the Congress of creating 'confusion' among the Muslim community over the Citizenship (Amendment) Act-2019 while launching a door to door campaign to dispel such rumors.

Yediyurappa was on a door-to-door campaign to make people aware of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and to allay their fears.

"Unnecessarily, the members of Congress are creating confusion among the Muslim community. I assure you that not a single Muslim will be affected because of CAA," said B. S. Yediyurappa.

"Almost all previous Prime Ministers have supported it, now Congress is creating a problem so as to create confusion among Muslims. That's why we are out on the door-to-door campaign," he said.

The Citizenship Amendment Act, 2019, seeks to grant Indian citizenship to Hindu, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist and Parsi refugees from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh and who entered India on or before December 31, 2014.
