In a shocker from Barkas in Hyderabad, 40 year old Ibrahim who is married and a father of two, set a woman on fire who refused to be his second wife.
Shabana, the victim, and Ibrahim met on Facebook a year ago. Her family rejected his marriage proposal when they found out about his first wife and two kids. This news infuriated Ibrahim to take such an unfortunate step.
In the early hours of Saturday, 6 October, Ibrahim reached Kumarwadi, Tappachabutra in Hyderabad, poured petrol on Shabana Begum and her sister-in-law Hazeena Begum, who came to Shabana’s rescue. “He then set himself on fire and ran towards the two women doused in petrol,” said N Anand, Station House Officer, Tappachabutra police. All three suffered life-threatening burns and were rushed to Osmania hospital at 9 am.
Shabana passed away as she had suffered over 80 per cent burns, the possible survival of Ibrahim and Hazeena looks bleak as well. “The chances of his survival is low. All three have suffered over 30% burns; this brings down their chances of survival,” said Dr Nagendar.
Ibrahim supposedly proposed marriage a year ago, which was initially accepted but then rejected after Shabana’s family found out about his wife and kids. Post that, he started threatening the family, who then registered a complaint at the Tappachabutra police station. The Tappachabutra police have booked cases under Section 462 and 307 of the IPC against Ibrahim for now.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
