Former Dewas city Women's Congress president Baby Tabassum, who was set afire by two persons earlier this month, succumbed to injuries at a hospital in Indore, police said. Tabassum, who had suffered 63 per cent burns, had been battling for life since the incident.
Tabassum had a dispute with two persons identified as Devilal and Babu Kanjar over a fish pond in Chidavad village near here, following which they set her afire by pouring kerosene over her on February three.
While Devilal has been arrested, Babulal is absconding, police said.
