Latur, Aug 24: A 35-year-old man set himself on afire and died after allegedly stabbing his mother-in-law to death in Maharashtra’s Latur district, police said on Wednesday.
His seven-year-old son was also injured during the incident which took place at Veer-Hanmantwadi village near Latur city on Tuesday night.
The woman died on the spot, said Assistant Police Inspector Srishailya Kolhe.
Accused Rajinikant Suryakant Vedpathak (35) was married to the daughter of Chandrasena Sanjaykumar Vedpathak (50), resident of Veer Hanmantwadi.
As the couple did not get along, his wife was living with her parents for the past few years. Vedpathak would often demand that her parents send her back to his house.
Further probe is on. (PTI)
