Tripura: Woman tied to tree, burnt alive by sons
Agartala, Sep 29: A 62-year-old woman was tied to a tree and allegedly burnt alive by her two sons in West Tripura, officials said on Sunday.
Police said they have arrested the sons, and suspect that a family dispute might have led to the gruesome murder.
The incident happened on Saturday night in Khamarbari in the Champaknagar police station area, they said.
The woman lived with her two sons after she lost her husband around one-and-a-half-year ago. Her other son lived in Agartala.
"After receiving an input that a woman was set on fire, a police team rushed there and found the burnt body tied to a tree. We took the body to the hospital for post-mortem examination," Sub-Divisional Police Officer of Jirania Kamal Krishna Koloi told PTI.
"We have arrested her two sons for their alleged involvement in the case. They will be produced before the court on Monday, seeking police remand for interrogation. A family dispute may be the reason behind the incident," he said.
An investigation is underway, he added.

Leopard picks up three-year-old child from outside house in New Tehri, body found in bushes
New Tehri, Sep 29: A man-eating leopard killed a three-year-old child after picking him up from outside his house here while he was playing with his cousins, with officials saying his mutilated body was found in bushes nearby.
The officials said the incident happened at Purwal village around 5 pm when Ankit Kumar's son Raj Kumar was playing in the courtyard of the house with his maternal uncle's children.
Bhilangana Range Officer of Tehri Forest Division Ashish Nautiyal and Purwal village head Sanjay Tiwari said the child stepped out while playing and went behind the house where a leopard was already sitting in ambush.
The animal picked up the child and dragged him away.
Not finding her son around in the house, Manju Devi started searching for him. Later, her neighbours also gathered there, but the child could not be found.
Meanwhile, somebody noticed blood stains on the road behind the house.
The blood stains led people to the bushes from where the child's mutilated body was recovered, the officials said.
