SURAT: A 20-year-old girl was set on fire in the city on Monday by her father, who had a heated argument with her for insisting on getting married to her boyfriend. The victim died on the spot.
Rubina Shaikh was allegedly set ablaze by her father Urhan at their house in Azad Nagar slums at Bhatar. The father sprinkled petrol on the victim after a heated argument and then threw a burning matchstick on her. Rubina was completely burnt within seconds.
On witnessing smoke coming out of the house, neighbours rushed in and tried to help Rubina but were attacked by other family members of the victim.
Police investigation revealed that Rubina was in love with one Javed Yusuf, who lived in the neighbourhood. Both had run away and lived together for sometime. Rubina's father asked her to return home and promised that he would get the two married. The couple returned home and Rubina started living with her parents again.
However, Rubina's father refused to keep his promise. The issue was discussed several times in the family. Everyone in the family was opposed to Rubina's marriage with Javed.
