The Dharavi police have arrested a 40-year-old man for attempting to kill a 20-year-old woman by setting her ablaze as he felt her family had been ignoring him. The victim, Mohini Ramjit Jaiswar, who sustained more than 70 per cent burns, is battling for her life in Sion hospital.

Mohini had come to Mumbai with her mother Kajal, 50, and her five siblings eight years ago. It was then that the accused, Nandkishor Patel, arranged for a dwelling for the family and provided them with food at times. The family was living in Ganesh Chawl at Rajiv Gandhi Nagar, Dharavi.
