    What's the story

    In a shocking incident, a man in the Mathura district of Uttar Pradesh district was allegedly set on fire by his wife earlier this week.

    The incident occurred after a verbal spat between the two over the wife's purported extramarital affair.

    The man, unfortunately, lost his life to severe burn injuries despite being rushed to the hospital right after the incident.
