A 40-year-old jilted lover from Jharkhand was arrested on the Bombay High Court premises yesterday morning after his presence sparked police suspicion.

While the building premises are highly secured, the man was spotted roaming around and was detained by the policeman on duty. After questioning at Azad Maidan police station, the man confessed that he had set his mistress ablaze in Jharkand on December 2 after seeing her with another man. While the woman sustained serious burns to her body, her eight-year-old daughter succumbed to her injuries.
