Police in Sagar, Madhya Pradesh have arrested a woman identified as Kajal Goswami on charges of killing her neighbour Girgabai and the latter's 13-year-old daughter Ayushi by setting them on fire. Authorities allege that Goswami poured petrol on the victims before igniting the flames, resulting in their deaths.
The incident reportedly stems from Goswami's suspicions regarding her husband's alleged involvement with another woman. According to police statements, the accused had apparently attempted similar violence previously, though details of those prior incidents remain unclear.
The tragic deaths have prompted a broader investigation into the circumstances surrounding the alleged dispute between the families. Police are examining the chain of events leading up to the fatal incident and have registered a murder case against the accused. The investigation continues to gather additional evidence and testimonies from witnesses.
