“Vignesh burnt her around 10 am on Saturday, leading to the girl’s hospitalisation at Kadapa RIMS hospital. The girl succumbed to her burns around 3 am on Sunday,” Mydukuru Sub-Divisional Police Officer Rajendra Prasad said.
According to police, Vignesh and the girl were in a relationship earlier but the former got married to another woman.
“However, the girl got in touch with Vignesh six months ago and asked him to marry her. Fed up by her demand, Vignesh resorted to this extreme action,” he said.
