Hajra Bibi, 30, had an argument with her husband, Muhammad Shareef. The husband, in a fit of rage, beat up Hajra until she fell unconscious to the ground.
Believing Hajra had succumbed to her injuries, Shareef and her in-laws doused her with kerosene oil and set her ablaze.
On hearing her screams, the neighbours rushed to Hajra's rescue.
