MUMBAI: A 26-year-old housewife, who had sustained severe burns and had blamed a stove explosion in her kitchen, changed her statement hours before her death on Saturday, putting her husband in the dock. Soni Singh had been admitted to the Bhagwati Hospital with 90 % burns on October 9.
Four days later, she told the police that her husband, Surendra, had torched her over a domestic dispute. Surendra, a parking attendant at Mira Road, has been arrested on murder charges by the MHB Colony police.
Soni and Surendra stayed at Ganpat Patil Nagar off the Borivali Link Road with their children. The couple had frequent fights over Surendra's drinking habit. "On October 9, doctors at the Bhagwati Hospital in Borivali informed us about a female patient, Soni Singh, being admitted with serious burns. "When we recorded her statement that day, Soni said her injuries were accidental. She stated that she had been working in the kitchen when the cooking stove exploded and her nylon saree was enveloped in flames," said senior inspector Suresh Kilje.
The police then informed Soni's parents who are based out of Uttar Pradesh. Her parents rushed to Mumbai on October 13 to look after her. "On her parents quizzing her about what exactly had happened, Soni broke down and admitted that her husband had torched her. We then recorded a fresh statement of hers where she stated that Surendra used to thrash her frequently. On October 9, he had returned home drunk as usual, when Soni questioned him how he could spend on liquor while their children went hungry. The couple had a fight, following which Soni told her husband that she had had enough. Surendra suddenly emptied a can of kerosene on her and struck a match," Kilje added.
As Soni started screaming for help, Surendra fled from the house without putting out the flames. Neighbours managed to douse the fire and took Soni to the Bhagwati Hospital. Based on the fresh statement given by Soni, the MHB Colony police registered a case of "attempt to commit murder" against Surendra on October 13. But the same evening, Soni succumbed to her injuries. The case was then converted into murder and her fresh statement was treated as a dying declaration. "Surendra had returned home by then and we took him into custody. A local court has remanded him to police custody," said a police official.
