A man was allegedly set on fire by his in-laws in Chiniot on Tuesday after a domestic tiff, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

Babar Ali, a resident Burj Mandi, came to his in-laws’ house in Mohalla Dil Khoshaab to meet his son when a heated argument between him and his mother-in-law turned violent. Later, Babar was allegedly set on fire.

“Babar was tricked into visiting his in-laws’ home on the call on his son,” victim’s father alleged, adding that Babar used to come to his in-laws home but they never allowed him to meet his son.
