60-Year-Old Man Tied And Set Ablaze By Wife After ‘Domestic Dispute’

The 60-year-old man, identified as Ram Sanware, a labourer at a local brick kiln, survived an alleged attack by his wife, 50-year-old Poonam. Sanware, son of Salikram and a resident of Kudi village under Dumriyaganj police station, supports his family through work, while Poonam reportedly stays at home.

This was Sanware’s fourth marriage, as his first two wives had left the family, and his third wife had passed away. According to Jagran.com, Poonam struggled with alcohol addiction, and conflicts escalated when a man from a neighbouring village visited her home. On Wednesday evening, after an argument with Poonam, Sanware slept outside his house.

Later that night, Poonam allegedly called him inside, tied his hands with a sweater, doused him with petrol, set him on fire and locked the door.
