Man in Loni sets wife ablaze after argument

A 31-year-old man was arrested for allegedly setting his wife on fire in Loni, a locality in Ghaziabad. The incident occurred on Sunday evening when the man poured petrol on his wife and ignited it. The woman, identified as Sadiya, is currently hospitalized in Delhi with severe burns covering 40 to 45% of her body. Sadiya's brother, Mohammad Salman, told police that there was an argument between the couple earlier that day. He claims that her husband, Mohammad Arif, recently married another woman, which led to tensions in their marriage. After receiving reports of loud noises from their home, Salman rushed to find his sister in flames. He managed to extinguish the fire and took her to the GTB hospital. Police confirmed that Sadiya has been in a critical state since the incident. Arif, who works as a teacher in Panipat, denied the accusations during questioning. A case has been filed against him under several sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The investigation is ongoing as authorities look into the details surrounding the case.
