About one-and-a-half month ago we had carried a story that a Vakola housewife Jyoti Jaiswal residing at William Apartments, Yeshwant Nagar, Vakola allegedly set her husband Rajendra Jaiswal, on fire after an argument. Jyoti suspected her husband of being involved in an extramarital affair. Rajendra, who was set on fire one-and-a-half months ago, finally succumbed to his injuries at Masina Hospital in Byculla.
Rajendra (33) was admitted with 75% burns after his wife allegedly set him on fire by pouring kerosene on him, following an argument. The Vakola police had registered a case of attempt to murder against his wife Jyoti (31). The police have now registered a murder case against Jyoti, who had in her complaint, accused her husband of making dowry demands.
The deceased, a DJ Jockey, used to stay with his wife at William Apartments was suspected to be visiting another woman. Jyoti, who sustained 30% burn injuries, had claimed that Rajendra had tried to immolate himself to falsely implicate her in the case. Jyoti told the police that she sustained injuries because she tried to save her husband. The incident had occurred on the afternoon of September 27, following a heated argument between the couple. Initially, Rajendra had been admitted to VN Desai Hospital from where he was shifted to a private hospital and later toMasina Hospital .
Jyoti had also alleged that her husband was demanding a divorce in order to marry another woman. However, the deceased's family has denied the accusation levied by Jyoti. Instead, in their complaint, Rajendra's father had told the police that the couple, who got married in 2004, had heated arguments over various household matters and their daughter-in-law had falsely accused their son of having an extra-marital affair.

Initially, police booked Jyoti for attempt to murder. She, on the other hand, had registered a case of dowry harassment against Rajendra. However, after her husband died due to his burn injuries, police have registered a murder case against her. "Initially, we filed cross complaints following the duo's statements. But after Rajendra's death, we have registered a case of murder against Jyoti but have not arrested her till now. We will investigate the case and then take action. The body has been sent to Cooper Hospital for post mortem," said senior police inspector Anil Kharade.
