Rajasthan: Woman burnt alive in public by brothers over her love marriage


Jaipur, Mar 6 (PTI): In a case of honour killing, a 30-year-old woman was burnt alive in public by her brother and other relatives in Dungarpur district when she came to meet her family for the first time since her marriage with a man of another caste eight years ago, police said today.

Rama Kunwar, who eloped with Prakash Sevak eight years ago, was set ablaze on Friday in Pachlasa village by her brother and cousins who did not approve of the alliance, they said.

Police said the couple was living somewhere else and had come to their village for the first time after marriage to meet parents and in-laws.

"They beat her, dragged her out of the house to the road and burnt her alive when the woman's husband was not present," they said, adding that the last rites were also conducted the same night.

Police said they have arrested seven persons, including brother Laxman Singh, while efforts are on to apprehend other accused.

    Majority of the ppl in this country hasn't heard of the name Manu. So it is ridiculous to utter his name for idiotic act of some illiterate ppl in the society. These things do happen in our neighbouring countries too on daily basis. Their attitude has been in built since centuries due to the oppression from the invaders.

    @Dr.Sharath shetty, Mangaluru / Malaysia, Sorry Dr. Shetty, correct me if I am wrong. You said "their attitude has been in built since centuries due to the oppression from the invaders" In first place who you are referring about with the word 'their"? Secondly which attitude you're talking about that they got from the oppression of invaders?. As far as I remember, Indians have been invaded by mainly by Moghlas and British. The cast system which is the main reason for this NOT forced by the invaders or by their suppression. Other than caste system, we had sub products of that like un-touchability as well and neither this is the result of oppression by invaders. may be you're talking about child marriage or sati system where the wife jumps and burns alive herself in the fire along with her dead husband which is predominantly practiced in Rajasthan or treating widows as slaves. Unfortunately there is no proof these practices are the result of oppression by the invaders. I do agree with the other point though (Majority of the ppl in this country hasn't heard of the name Manu)When I see silly comments about vedas and upanishads from my Hindus(who proclaim themselves as savior of Hinduism)in this forum to defend the attack on others really proves it. I am sure you know why Singapore run away from Malaysia within 2 years of joining it because there is oppression on any Non-Malay (whether he is Indian or Chinese)from the government machinery itself.I am sure in India religion wasn't a subject while studying medicine and hence we do have limited knowledge about it. Furthermore, in Medicine if you do not hear that harsh systolic murmur your colleague hear (and subsequently proved by echo of having a mean gradient of around 50mmHg) it is not told to check your hear with a ENT specialist. Its better for us to see ourselves in mirror than blaming oppression of invaders for some of our society's sin.

    Burn that woman's brothers and others involved alive without any last rites. These idiots are out of their mind to burn their own sister, who came to visit them after eight years of marriage. I don't know what was the real motive to kill her and that too when her husband was not there.

    Mrs Alfria, why politics here? condemn the incident. if you want to bring politics into it, then take the police records to see how many such incidents happened during Congress regime. Some Communities like Jats have their own Panchayaths. The police should take stern action against the culprits. there should be awareness programmees parallely to curb this menace.

    @Ka desilva,Dubai,even the word brave Brothers in any way doesn't deserve .The whole Family should be punished in the either same way ,or put in a life time jail wit severe punishment.The sister was probably with Intention called for wedding?They at least should have be happy because she came to meet after so many years.No.no Feelings,not humans,barbarish burnt alive,who will look after her children if any?She is married,after so many years,now going after caste,grudge.when one thinks about their Action can only say satans Brothers.One cant choose his Brothers or relatives.May her Soul rest in peace.Heartfelt sympathys to her husband and children if any.

    Why we are allowed to read such inhuman, barbaric, treacherous, heart rending news in this world.
    I cannot digest it.
    Send these brothers and those who supported them to the gallows or electric chair (to burn into ashes), immediately. Very very disturbing incident. I would not watch even if cat accidentally falls in the fire and gets burnt.

    This is the real intolerance. We should condemn killing of this woman by her own brother in strongest possible terms.
    He too should be burnt alive like he did to his sister.
