Bengaluru, Dec 10: In a shocking incident, a 20-year-old boy set his mother ablaze by throwing petrol as she denied giving him money on December 6.
In a video which is going viral, the boy Utham is seen setting his mother Bharti ablaze. On the day of the incident both the son and mother had indulged in a verbal spat. His mother thought he would spend the money on alcohol. Enraged Utham threw petrol on her and set her ablaze. Immediately his father doused the fire and rushed her to a private hospital nearby.
Bharti has sustained burn injuries on chest, hand and face. She is still undergoing treatment.
A complaint has been lodged by Utham's father. Utham is reportedly absconding after the incident.
It may be recalled that last week in another similar incident, a boy from Bengaluru was seen thrashing his own mother. He too has been taken into custody after the police registered a suo-motto case against him.
