Palamma (23), who was admitted on Sunday night with burns to the District Hospital in Kalaburagi, died on Tuesday. She was set on fire by Gangappa Basappa Allalli (25) after she obstructed to his sexual advances. She was the wife of Mareppa.
According to the police, Gangappa Allalli tried to rape her but when she resisted, he doused her with petrol and set her on fire.
The woman’s neighbours who heard her screaming rushed to the spot and shifted her to the taluk hospital in Surpur. The doctors who gave her treatment there referred the woman to Kalaburagi for further treatment.
