Bangalore:
The 29-year-old woman, who was rushed to Victoria Hospital after her husband Syed Abdur Rehman allegedly set her on fire on Sunday night in their Iliyas Nagar home, gave birth to a baby boy in Sevakshetra Hospital.
"We have not filed any complaints yet. We're not sure if these wounds have been self-inflicted or if she was attacked. No medico-legal case has come to us yet," said Inspector Baba Narona.

Baba Khan, Meharunnisa's neighbour, said, "Her husband has not visited her and the baby yet. She is well-educated unlike him, and they fought mostly because of their religious differences."
A staff nurse at the hospital said both Meharunnisa and the baby were doing well.
"She is in a much better condition compared to yesterday morning. The baby is doing well too. We're treating her burns and following the right protocols to ensure her safety," she said
