Man who set ablaze two-wheeler arrested

A man who allegedly set ablaze a woman’s twowheeler, leading to a fire that gutted a three-storey residential building, killing seven people and injuring nine others, was arrested in Indore late on Saturday, police said. Shubham Dixit, alias Sanjay, a 28-year-old Jhansi resident, was produced before a local court on Sunday and sent on police remand for three days. Dixit used to rent a flat in the building where the woman lived with her mother, but moved out after she rejected his romantic advances, Vijay Nagar police station in-charge, Tehzeeb Qazi, said. The accused had reportedly lent ₹10,000 to the woman and wanted his money back. “...After a fight, he threatened her with dire consequences. Later, he went to the parking area, poured petrol on the woman’s two-wheeler and set it afire, Qazi said.
