MP: Man who had set himself ablaze over his wife's 'fifth' marriage dies during treatment
Indore, Jan 13: A 35-year-old man, who had set himself on fire in Indore last week following a dispute with his wife whom he accused of marrying for a fifth time, succumbed to his injuries on Saturday, police said.
The deceased was the fourth husband of the woman, an official said, adding that police are investigating whether her purported marriage for a fifth time was the trigger behind the suicide.
"The deceased Sunil Lohani was the fourth husband of the woman whom he married in 2018. However, their relations turned sour last year and the woman started living with her parents," police inspector Shailendra Singh Jadone told PTI.
The woman had also filed a case against Lohani for dowry harassment. He was possibly fed up with the court case and took the extreme step, he added.
Lohani had shot a video of himself before committing suicide and circulated it on social media with a suicide note purportedly stating that he was upset with his wife marrying for a fifth time.
On the issue of the fifth marriage, Jadone said police are verifying it.
The incident of Lohani dousing himself with petrol before setting himself ablaze in the Juni area was captured on the CCTV camera of a nearby house, police said.

KKR defeat LSG via Super Over
Lucknow (PTI): Kolkata Knight Riders edged Lucknow Super Giants via Super Overs in a battle between two bottom-placed teams in the IPL, here on Sunday.
Chasing a modest 156, LSG suffered a batting collapse and managed to tie the contest and take it to Super Over with No. 9 Mohammed Shami striking a last-ball six against a wayward Kartik Tyagi, who leaked 16 runs in the final over.
But Sunil Narine bowled a stunning Super Over conceding just one run and taking two wickets to give KKR an easy target.
Rinku Singh then finished the chase with a boundary off first ball from Prince Yadav.
Earlier the KKR were in deep trouble with 93/7 in 15 overs but Rinku smashed a sensational 83 not out from 51 balls including four sixes in a row in the final over to lift them to 155/7.
Cameron Green (34) was the only other batter to reach double-digit scores as KKR suffered a familiar batting meltdown with Mohsin taking his maiden fifer.
In reply, LSG continued their dismal show with the bat to succumb to their fifth loss in a row.
Brief Scores:
Kolkata Knight Riders 155/7; 20 overs (Rinku Singh 83 not out, Cameron Green 34; Mohsin Khan 5/23). Lucknow Super Giants 155/8; 20 overs (Rishabh Pant 42). KKR won via Super Over.
