According to the police, Krishna lived at Yalal mandal in Vikarabad district. A few years ago, he had married his daughter Anita to Arjun Pawar, a resident of Gulbarga district in Karnataka. After their marriage, the couple began residing at Gulbarga. However, Anita recently returned to her father’s home, demanding that he transfer two acres of family land in her name.
Krishna reportedly denied the request, explaining that he depended on the land for his livelihood. The dispute grew more intense over the past few weeks. On Thursday, an argument once again broke out between Krishna and his daughter. Police said that in a sudden act of rage, Anita, along with her husband Arjun, poured fuel on Krishna and set him on fire.
