Hyderabad:  A 27-year-old woman allegedly set her three daughters ablaze, before immolating herself in Chilkur village, on the city outskirts tonight, police sources said Friday. The incident came to light at around 8 pm, after the husband of the deceased woman Anitha, a car-driver, returned home, police sources said.
