In a shocking case of domestic violence, a 35-year-old woman was set on fire by her live-in partner in Bengaluru. The victim, identified as Vanajakshi, died of her burn injuries in hospital. The police said the accused, Vital, a cab driver and habitual alcoholic, had been married three times previously. Vanajakshi, too, had been married twice before entering a live-in relationship with him nearly four years ago. According to investigators, Vanajakshi had recently moved away from Vithal after being harassed repeatedly over his drinking habits. She had also developed a friendship with another man, Mariappa, a member of the Karnataka Rakshana Vedike.
