Man sets house on fire after fight with wife

A man set his house on fire around 8.30 am at Nagdipur village after a dispute with his wife. According to the information received, Mandeep Kaur, who has been married to the man for about 15 years, has three sons.

Her husband Ravi Sher Singh used to beat her after getting drunk. On Monday, he set the house on fire after a fight with her. Villagers tried to extinguish the fire and even called a fire brigade from Garhshankar, but since the house had no windows, the fire spread to all rooms inside, due to which all belongings of the house got burnt to ashes.

Mandeep’s father Gian Singh Banga said that this house was built by him for his daughter and he had also provided her with basic necessities and other belongings for the house, but her husband, being addicted to alcohol, used to mentally harass their daughter.

He said this morning, their life was saved as his daughter and her children were not at home. They have filed a complaint at the police post, Kot Fatuhi, in this regard.
