Hyderabad (Telangana): A woman was reported to set ablaze by her husband in Hyderabad. The incident took place over a family dispute on Monday. The couple has two children and has been married for 32 years.
 

According to the reports, Mallesh Goud, 53, poured petrol on his wife, Mangamma, 48, after locking the room of his children at 4 am in morning. After setting her on fire, he also locked his wife who was in the other room and fled away from the spot. Then the victim was saved by her neighbour, who later admitted her to Gandhi Hospital for treatment.
 

According to the doctors, she has sustained 80% burn injuries and her condition remains to be critical. Police reports say that Goud is an alcoholic and his drinking habit was one of the reasons behind the fight between the two. A couple of times, he had even threatened to kill Mangamma.
 

A case has been registered against Goud under section 307 (attempt to murder) and 498-A (subjecting a married woman to cruelty) of the Indian Penal Code, and a manhunt has been launched to arrest the accused.
