She then doused herself with kerosene and set herself on fire. After examining the facts, the convict was sentenced to rigorous imprisonment of seven years by the court. The judge rejected the defense counsel's argument that it was an accidental death. Initially, a case was registered under Sections 307 and 498 A of the IPC, but after the death of the victim the charges were changed to 304-B of IPC.
