A 38-year-old woman, Chithra, who was set on fire by her
estranged husband K. Mohandoss and two others at S.S. Colony on Tuesday
succumbed to burns at Government Rajaji Hospital.
The
police said that married in 2001, the couple had three children.
However, due to differences of opinion they had been living separately
since 2012.
Meanwhile, Chithra had filed a divorce petition with Madurai
District Family Court. The woman, who was living with her parents in
Vanamamalai 2nd Cross Street off Bypass Road, had come to the court on
Tuesday for the hearing.
When she was returning home,
Mohandoss, who runs a travels business in Chennai, and two others
intercepted her car near her house and pulled her out. They doused her
with petrol, set her on fire and fled the scene. S.S. Colony police are
on the lookout for the accused.
