Man Arrested in Gurugram for Allegedly Burning Girlfriend Following DisputePreviousNext

In Gurugram, Sunil Kumar, 35, was arrested for allegedly setting his girlfriend, Divya Kataria, 23, on fire following disputes after she discovered he was married. Kataria was admitted to Artemis Hospital with severe burns and later referred to Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi, where she died on June 27.
