According to the police, Ujjwal Mandal, a resident of PV-7, was married to Savita Mandal about 17 years ago. Both also have 2 children. Everything went well in their relationship for 15 years, but about two and a half years ago, Ujjwal got in touch with Jeba Mandal, a resident of Maharashtra. The relationship of both turned into love and after that Ujjwal made her his second wife. He had kept both the wives together in the same house.
According to the police, there used to be frequent disputes between the two wives over sleeping with the husband. On the night of March 28, Savita was laying the bed with her husband to sleep, when the second wife Jeba protested. The controversy escalated. Jeba said that today she will sleep with her husband.
To moderate the quarrel, the mother-in-law tried to pacify both the daughters-in-law. At that moment Ujjwal started scolding his first wife Savita. When the dispute escalated, Jeba and Ujjwal caught hold of Savita and poured kerosene over the later and set her on fire. Screaming in pain and struggle for life, Savita somehow managed to jump in the nearby pond.
The victim is undergoing treatment in a serious condition. Both Ujjwal and Jeba are absconding since the incident.
