A shocking act of revenge unfolded in Maharashtra's Nanded district as a man set on fire is fighting for his life. The attack, involving a molestation accused and his family, occurred after the main accused was released on bail.

The victim's wife had previously filed a complaint against Santosh Madhavrao Bendrikar, leading to his arrest. However, a quick return to the village post-bail led to the confrontation.

Bendrikar, with his father and brother, allegedly ambushed the victim's husband, doused him with petrol, and set him ablaze. Swift police action resulted in their arrest, and a fresh murder attempt charge has been filed.
