Erode woman burnt alive by man whom she befriended in social media

A 24-year-old woman named S Vinodhini was burned alive in Erode by a man she had befriended through social media. The victim, who was living with her mother after separating from her husband, had been in regular contact with Naveen, a 26-year-old from Ramanathapuram district, for several months. On the day of the incident, Naveen visited her residence and accused her of reducing communication with him, leading to an argument. During the altercation, Naveen poured kerosene on her and set her on fire. Both individuals sustained burn injuries, but Vinodhini died at Erode Government Hospital. Naveen fled the scene initially but later sought medical attention at a hospital in Karur district. After being informed by local police, authorities from Erode traveled to Karur and arrested him. He is expected to be transferred back to Erode once his treatment concludes.
