A 30-year-old woman allegedly poured kerosene on herself and her two minor children and set herself and them afire at her house in Preet Vihar in Ghaziabad’s Muradnagar on Wednesday. Police said the mother and her two-year-old daughter died at the spot while her son (5) survived. Her son Lalit was rushed to a hospital for burns treatment. “The woman, out of a domestic dispute with her husband, locked herself and her two children in a room and poured kerosene on herself and them. We are yet to get to the motive behind the woman taking such an extreme step.
