A 19-year-old pregnant woman, along with her husband, was allegedly set ablaze by the former's family in a case of honour killing in Ahmednagar last week. The two were rushed to a hospital in Pune for treatment but the girl succumbed to her injuries while her husband is in critical condition.

Rukmini Ransingh and Mangesh Ransingh are residents of Nigot village in Ahmednagar. The girl had given a statement to the Pune police accusing her family before she breathed her last and a complaint was registered for murder against her father Ramfal Bhartiya and maternal uncle Dillu Pandit at Bund garden police station.
