The six-year-old son of the Greater Noida woman who was set on fire by her husband revealed that his father killed his mother in front of him and described the abuse that led to her death.

Recalling the horror, the boy claimed that his father and grandmother poured a substance on his mother, slapped her, and then set her ablaze.

"Meri mumma ke upar kuch dala, fir unko chanta mara fir lighter se aag laga di. (They poured something on my mother, slapped her and set her ablaze using a lighter)," the victim's son said.

He just nodded his head when someone from the media asked if his father had murdered her.

Two videos of the horrifying incident are making rounds on the internet. In one of the videos, a man and woman can be seen assaulting the victim and dragging her out of the house by her hair. The other video shows the woman limping down the stairs after being set on fire.

Kanchan, the elder sister of the victim identified as Nikki (in her mid 30s), who was married in the same family had captured the video of the incident that occurred in Sirsa village, under the limits of Kasna Police Station in Greater Noida, they said.

While addressing the media, Kanchan claimed that her younger sister was killed by the husband, Vipin, and in-laws for not meeting their dowry demand of Rs 36 lakhs.

On Thursday night, she was badly beaten up and set on fire by them, claimed Kanchan, who is married to Vipin’s brother.

"We were beaten and tortured for the last many days for dowry. They were demanding Rs 36 lakh in dowry. They carried out atrocities against my sister.”

They hit her in her neck and head and threw acid on her. Our kids were also in the same house. I couldn't do anything. They tortured me as well," said weeping Kanchan while holding her sister’s son in her arms.
