On the day of the incident, Manjula wore a nighty even though her husband had strictly forbidden it. This enraged Krishna Patil, who then allegedly set her on fire. It was Manjula's loud cries for help that alerted the neighbours.
Married eight years ago
Krishna and Manjula got married eight years ago. After the incident, the locals were the ones who informed the police. The case has been registered at the Nandgad police station, and further investigation is underway.
