An Indian woman’s hands were allegedly burnt with boiling oil on Thursday by her in-laws for not providing dowry in Maharashtra, Indian police reported.
“They beat me for not bringing INR10,000 from my parents and then put my hands in boiling oil,” Karuna Waghmare told reporters from her hospital bed.
The woman who belonged to a village in Kej tehsil accused her husband, father-in-law, brother-in-law and sisters-in-law for putting her hands in boiling oil. She has been admitted to the government hospital in Beed with severe burns, according to the police.
“My husband forcibly put one hand in boiling oil and my sisters-in-law poured boiling oil on my other hand,” Waghmare said.
A police official said told PTI, “We have deputed our team to take a statement of the woman and other relatives.”
However, no arrests have been made so far, the police added.
