Tobarak, who lives in the same village -
- Kona Bhawal -- swooped on Pinky at
around 7:30am when none of her parents
or siblings was home.
Pinky, a class-ten student, was studying
for examinations when she saw him on the
doorstep with a one-litre plastic bottle
full of kerosene.
Before she could move, he had emptied
the kerosene bottle on her and threw a
lit matchstick setting her ablaze,
Latifa said quoting from the statement
her daughter gave before death.
Flames swallowed up Pinky in no time.
