An 18-years-old girl was set on fire by some persons by sprinkling paraffin on her after her father complained against them for playing loud music infront of their house at Milak Khas village of Yamunagar district.
DSP Bilaspur, Ajay Kumar, said the girl's father had lodged a complaint against Gulaba and his accomplices alleging that they used to park their vehicle infront of their house and play music aloud.
"The vehicle was used to ferry audio speakers used in public rallies and marriages. The accused used to play loud music which irritated the family following which they requested them to desist from such actions," the DSP said.
Upset over this, the accused with some other persons Friday night barged into their house and set ablaze the girl who was sleeping in the forecourt.
The girl sustained sever burn injuries and was admitted to PGIMER, Chandigarh.
"Six persons have been booked under various sections of IPC, including attempt to murder," he said, adding that an investigation was on and the accused would be nabbed soon.
