"He set the flat on fire. The blaze was doused by fire brigade and police personnel. Dhaketa's act was caught on CCTV. The 34-year-old woman is a widow and knew him. However, she stopped talking to him some time ago," the official said.
"He was angry at her for this. Dhaketa informed her after he set the flat on fire. He had also issued threats to her over phone," Mr Yadav added.
He was charged under Indian Penal Code sections 457 (trespassing into premises by breaking into at night) and 436 (malignant use of inflammable substance with intent to burn down a building), Mr Yadav said.
