Savar housewife torched for dowry
A woman was torched for dowry allegedly by her husband at Majhipara of Fulbaria in Savar, outside the capital, on Saturday.
Nidra Rani, 30, is undergoing treatment at Enam Medical College Hospital with minor injury.
Locals said Doshorath Rajbongshi, of Gazipur married Nidra, mother of two, for dowry. For three months Nidra has been staying at her father's house as Doshorath beat her up for her father's fish shop in the capital's Shyamoly which he runs.
On Saturday, villagers tried in vain to settle the matter. In the evening Doshorath with 4 to 5 accomplices set Nidra on fire with a lighter after they failed to pick her up forcefully, the locals alleged. She was rescued and rushed to the hospital. No case was filed but police are investigating the matter .
