Rajasthan woman burnt alive for opposing tree felling Last Updated : 27 Mar 2017 01:19:28 PM IST Woman burnt alive for opposing tree felling
A 28-year-old woman has been burnt alive in Rajasthan's Jodhpur district because she opposed felling of trees on her farm, the police said.
Lalita had an altercation with villagers on Saturday as she protested cutting of trees for widening a road along her farm near Pipad town, a police official told media.
In an FIR report, her family said the quarrel became so ugly that some villagers poured petrol on her and set her afire.
According to the police, Lalita died from her injuries while being treated at a government hospital in Jodhpur."Prima facie it does not appear a case of being burnt by villagers and it seems the quarrel was not on felling of trees but pathway," a police official said.
An investigation has been launched into the incident. "If need be, we will arrest the culprits soon," the official said.IANS For Latest Updates Please-
