Mother and her baby daughter burnt to death for failing to pay her new family dowry(Photos)

A young Indian mother has been burned to death along with her infant daughter by her husband and in-laws for failing to pay dowry.
Police in eastern Indian state of Jharkhand said 22-year-old Annu Devi was set ablaze while she was breastfeeding her daughter on the night of Jan 29.




They have now arrested her husband, Gunjan Masat, who allegedly poured kerosene over Devi and her baby daughter before lighting it with a match.According to Raghuni Rana, Devi's father, the couple were happily married for more than a year, but problems started after Ms Devi gave birth to a baby girl.Mr Rana told police: 'They wanted a son, but didn’t realize that giving birth to a girl was not Devi’s fault.

'They started harassing and torturing her till things reached this pass when they decided to end her life.'
Mr Rana added: 'Now they were demanding a TV set and a motorcycle. I had already given them two bighas (1.6 acres) of land in dowry.'
To pass off her murder as an accident, the accused made the badly burned Devi sit beside a fireplace and placed a water container over it.
Early in the morning on Jan 30, a local spotted Ms Devi and her daughter lying in a courtyard at the house, still alive despite suffering 90 per cent burns.

The mother-daughter duo were rushed to the nearest hospital but the doctors declared them dead on arrival.
Devi's brother-in-law, who has also been accused in the police complaint, is still at large.

  7. Yes oo. Am a student here nd their culture states dat d woman pays d dowry(dowry no be small money fr here oo) bcos of dat,d poor ones hate hving female children so dat they wnt bother about paying fr her future husband's dowry. Nd wen d money finishes, some useless husbands ll send them back inorder fr them to bring in more money. Women re suffering here especially in some remote places in Tamil Nadu.
