A 25-year-old woman allegedly burnt her husband pouring hot water on his body while the man was in asleep at their residence in the city’s Kalyanpur in the early hours of yesterday.
Victim Raja Molla, 33, an employee of a courier service, is now undergoing treatment at the burn unit of Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
Rajib Molla, brother of the victim, told the Dhaka Tribune that Raza had tied the knot with Selina Aktar 10 years back. He said the couple used to quarrel over family feud.
“An altercation took place between them over family matter on Thursday night. After that they went to sleep. She might have poured hot water on my brother’s body around 4am. After that she went into hiding.”
Being informed, family members took Raja to DMCH burn unit around 7am.
“If she is not guilty she would never go into hiding,” he said, adding that he would file a case in this connection.
