Kolkata: On Monday, in what can only be described as a mind-numbing series of events, a man was burnt to death in Malda district of West Bengal after a woman he allegedly raped and set on fire clung to him while she was still ablaze. While the woman is being treated for burn injuries, the 35-year-old male succumbed on Tuesday, said police. The woman, a widow, in her complaint to the police said that she was alone at home on Monday when the deceased barged in. She claims that he raped her and then set her ablaze. I grabbed him tightly while I was on fire, she says.

While talking to locals, upon noticing smoke emanating from the woman's home rushed to her rescue only to find the man and the woman engulfed in flames. Both were then rushed to a local hospital and later referred to the Malda Medical College and Hospital where the woman is being treated for her burn wounds while the male succumbed on Tuesday morning.

However, a preliminary investigation by the Manichak police station has revealed that a jar of kerosene was spotted inside the room where neighbours found the woman and the deceased. Investigators are also trying to ascertain why the deceased was at the woman's residence in Subhas Colony when in fact, his own residence is about 35 kilometres from the woman's home. District superintendent of police (DCP) Arnab Ghosh told news agency PTI that the case is being investigated from all angles since some of the woman's neighbours have claimed that the deceased visited her often.
