Aligarh: Son Burns His Mother Alive In Police Station Premises, Makes Her Video

Aligarh: A son had poured kerosene oil on his mother and burnt her alive in the police station premises on Tuesday evening. He didn't stop there but started videographing the incident as she kept screaming. Policemen first tried to stop him, then ran for help with blankets but the blaze was so vigorous that two of them sustained injuries in the process. The incident took place in the Khair area of Aligarh district (UP) and shook everyone.

As per the reports, the woman, Hemlata, had lost her husband many years back and was living at her parents' residence. She had an argument over a property with her brothers-in-law after she returned to her in-laws' place recently. Citing her willful right, the victim sought a piece of the property owned by her husband but was denied.

She had lodged complaints against her in-laws and a chargesheet was filed. Hemlata with her son went to the Khair police station for resolution in the matter of property dispute. The other party i.e. her in-laws also reached where police proposed giving the victim a house at some other place as a negotiation and resolution of the matter. Thereafter, both parties discussed cash which didn't reach to a mutual consensus.

After the disagreement, Hemlata came out with her son and within the police station premises, the latter poured kerosene oil on her. When police officials saw it, they came and tried to stop him but he managed to light his lighter and put it on the victim.

As per the inputs by SSP, Aligarh, they wanted to use this incident against the other party i.e. in-laws of Hemlata, to get the desired property.
