The incident occurred last night in Indira Colony. Mamta's husband Guljari Lal was consuming liquor with a neighbour with whom he has a property dispute.

Mamta asked her husband to stay away from the neighbour because of the dispute but Lal ignored her advised and beat her when she was cooking food.

In a fit of rage, Mamta bolted a room from inside and poured kerosene on her and two daughters before setting ablaze, SHO Gandhi Nagar Rajesh Malik said today.
