We took the body to the hospital for post-mortem examination,”said sub-divisional police officer of Jirania Kamal Krishna Koloi . The woman, who had been living with her two sons after the death of her husband about a year and a half ago, was found by police after they received a tip-off. “After receiving an input that a woman was set on fire, a police team rushed there and found the burnt body tied to a tree. The two sons have been arrested in connection with the crime. “We have arrested her two sons for their alleged involvement in the case. A family dispute may be the reason behind the incident,” Koloi added.
The incident, which occurred on Saturday night in Khamarbari under the Champaknagar police station area, is believed to have stemmed from a family dispute. They will be produced before the court on Monday, seeking police remand for interrogation.
The police have taken both sons into custody and believe a family dispute may have been the motive behind the brutal murder.
Authorities are conducting an investigation into the matter.
