Police have arrested a man who allegedly set a girl, 16, alight for rejecting his proposal
A 16-year-old girl was left with burns all over her body by the man whose marriage proposal she rejected, authorities say. Police have arrested the man and an accomplice on suspicion of attempted murder after the girl had petrol poured all over her and was set ablaze. The victim’s mum woke up to the sound of her daughter’s screams at about 1.30am on Thursday and said she saw two men running away.
Family members rushed to the home in the Muzzafargarh district of Punjab, Pakistan, to help put out the fire.
