Agra: Extreme poverty forced a woman to set her two children and herself on fire in Kasganj district on Wednesday afternoon. The incident occurred in Hirapur village under Sahawar police jurisdiction.Mithlesh (30), wife of Bobby, a street vendor of clothes, allegedly tied her five-year-old daughter Ujala and two-year-old son Honey to her body, poured kerosene and set herself and the children on fire. They died of the burns.Speaking to TOI, station house officer of Sahawar, Ravinder Bahadur Singh said, “Though the exact reason behind the suicide is not clear, prima facie it seems that woman was in deep depression and did not have enough money to buy food.”Bobby sells clothes in Pithoragarh of Uttarakhand state. Mithlesh was his second wife. More than a decade back, his first wife Sunita died at childbirth. Her three children Gulshan, 18, Muskan, 14, and Chotu, 11, live in rented accommodations alone in Kasganj city and are financially supported by Bobby.Sources claimed that Mithlesh didn’t want Bobby’s first wife’s children to live with her and this had caused quarrels between the couple. A fortnight ago, Bobby left Mithlesh and her two children at Sahawar and returned to Pithoragarh.“Mithlesh was living alone. She had no one apart from her husband Bobby. The man has been informed about the incident and is on his way to Sahawar,” said Singh. The three bodies have been sent for post mortem, police officers said.
