PATNA: A 19-year-old girl, Sufiyan Parveen, was allegedly burned alive over a land dis by her uncle and aunt at Rampur Bakhri village under the Sakra police station area in Muzaffarpur district on Friday night.
The accused – Zainul Abdeen and his wife Hakima Khatoon – fled the village along with their three minor sons after committing the crime. Hakima’s father and brother are also evading arrest.
Sufiyan’s mother Husna Bano has lodged an FIR with Sakra police station against Zainul, Hakima, her father and brother, accusing them of strangulating her daughter and then burning her alive by pouring kerosene.

Sufiya’s younger brother Kudrat Ali told TOI over phone on Saturday that the former had gone to take bath at her neighbour Samshud Zoha’s house as their handpump was not working. “Zoha’s family had given us keys of their house to use the bathroom. Hakima and others burned my sister to death at Aoha’s house and fled,” he said.
Kudrat said his father Abdul Sattar had written 10-dhur village land to Zainul ten years back before his death. “My uncle now claims ownership of that land as well as 10-dhur additional land in which we live,” he said.
SHO of Sakra police station Lallan Kumar said efforts were on to arrest the four accused.
