Girl burnt by stalker, dies in East Godavari

The 18-year-old, who was allegedly set ablaze by a youth on Venumadha Swamy temple street in Pithapuram town of East Godavari district last Wednesday, succumbed to her burns on Monday while undergoing treatment. She was going to get married on Sunday.

Accused Muppidivarapu Naveen, 24, a painter by profession, used to harass her by professing his love. In spite of having his advances spurned, Naveen would continue to stalk the victim.  
When he learnt that Revati was getting married, he threatened her with dire consequences, according to police. On Wednesday, he went to her house, poured kerosene on her, and set her ablaze.
