A 13-year-old girl was set on fire in Telangana last month allegedly after she resisted the sexual advances of a 26-year-old man at his home where she worked as a caregiver. Though the incident took place on September 18 - in Khammam district, nearly 195 km from Hyderabad - it has come to light now after a police inquiry was initiated in the matter. The girl was admitted to a private hospital with 70 per cent burn injuries and is recovering.
