Mangalore, Jul 22: In a startling incident, a woman was gravely injured after she was torched by her husband. The incident, which took place on Saturday July 21 night, was reported at Nadar in Madoor, Kotekar.
On Saturday night, Boja, in an inebriated state, poured kerosene over his 48-year-old wife Sugandi and lit her on fire and fled from the scene. It is said that she is his second wife and he used to physically abuse her on a regularly basis. The couple has 3 daughters.
One of the daughters, Pavitra, who lives nearby with her husband, noticed the flames and rushed to Sugandis help along with a few neighbours. Sugandi was rushed to a hospital in Deralakatte.
Boja has a son from his first marriage.
A case has been registered against him at the Ullal police station.

It is really sad to read about incidences like these very often. Most of these incidences are because of alcoholism / drug addiction. The WHO has d alcoholism as a disease.
The relatives and friends of the alcoholic must approach various organizations or AA 24 hours helpline to get help.
Maybe Boja was in a black-out stage at the time of incidence and is till 100% aware of what did happen. However, he is still accountable for his cruel deed.
I hope the cops arrest him, then help detox him and later charge him with attempted murder / murder.
