Woman sets herself and two daughters on fire

A woman set herself on fire along with her two minor daughters in Bihar's Begusarai district this morning, a police officer said.

Disturbed with her alcoholic husband, the woman, identified as Usha Devi (35), set herself on fire with two daughters Sonali (7) and two-month-old Saraswati, Superintendent of Police (SP) Chhatraneel Singh said.

All of them died on the spot.

An FIR has been lodged in this connection and raids were being carried out to nab Chaudhary, who was absconding, the SP said.
