Facebook posts lead to quarrel and murder of teen

CHANDRAPUR: Squabble among the lovers over posts on Facebook turned ugly and boyfriend set his 16-year-old girlfriend afire at the latter's house in Majri. Cops have arrested the accused Suraj Kawat (25) and slapped murder and rape charges.

The incident took place on September 24 midnight, but the matter was reported only on Sunday, after Nagpur Police intimated their Majri counterpart about the crime registered on the basis of the dying declaration made by victim girl before the magistrate at a hospital in Nagpur. Citing her dying declaration police sources claimed that Geeta (name changed) had sex with her boyfriend Suraj, a driver, who later set her afire by dousing her with kerosene following a quarrel over his Facebook posts.

Sources informed that Geeta had a separate room in the her residence, where Suraj crept in to meet her on the fateful night. But, a quarrel broke out between them after Geeta, while playfully surfing Facebook account of Suraj on his mobile, discovered that several of his posts have likes from his female friends. She objected Suraj's interactions with other girls on internet, which led to the squabble between them. Enraged Suraj poured kerosene on Geeta and set her afire and fled from the spot.

Geeta's father rushed her to the local WCL Hospital, from where she was referred to Nagpur with 91% burn injuries. She succumbed to her injuries after four days of treatment but before that she gave a dying declaration before the magistrate in the hospital and blamed Suraj for the heinous act.

Nagpur police registered a case on basis of her dying declaration and intimated Majri Police on Sunday. PSO Rahul Sonawane arrested Suraj, immediately. Murder accused Suraj has been also booked under the charges of rape and relevant sections of Protection of Children from Sexual Offence Act-2012.

Suraj has been remanded to police custody till Tuesday. Investigators have denied involvement of more persons in the crime.
