In a tragic incident in Shivamogga district, Karnataka, a 30-year-old pregnant woman named Shwetha died after setting herself on fire, allegedly due to ongoing harassment from her in-laws. The incident occurred on March 29 during a dispute over property and living arrangements with her husband, Naveen. Shwetha had recently moved out of her matrimonial home with Naveen, but tensions escalated when his family reportedly pressured them to vacate their new residence. Following a quarrel, Shwetha poured petrol on herself and ignited it, leading to severe injuries. Despite being rushed to Kasturba Hospital in Manipal, she succumbed to her injuries on April 1. Her family has accused her in-laws of sustained mental and physical cruelty, prompting the police to arrest four family members, who are now in judicial custody. The case is being investigated under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, and authorities are reviewing video evidence related to the incident.
