Mangalore, Jul 22: In a startling incident, a woman was gravely injured after she was torched by her husband. The incident, which took place on Saturday July 21 night, was reported at Nadar in Madoor, Kotekar.

    Good day to all,
    It is really sad to read about incidences like these very often. Most of these incidences are because of alcoholism / drug addiction. The WHO has d alcoholism as a disease.
    The relatives and friends of the alcoholic must approach various organizations or AA 24 hours helpline to get help.
    Maybe Boja was in a black-out stage at the time of incidence and is till 100% aware of what did happen. However, he is still accountable for his cruel deed.
    I hope the cops arrest him, then help detox him and later charge him with attempted murder / murder.
