Published October 25, 2010

KHAIRPUR, Oct 24 A three-year-old boy was set ablaze allegedly by a relative in Wandh Muhalla here on Sunday.

Muzammil Hussain Abro was taken to the civil hospital and later referred to Karachi because the hospital does not have a burns ward.

Ahsan Abro, the father of the boy, has accused a close relative of setting the child on fire.

Police have arrested Abdul Wahid Abro for interrogation.

PPP MNA Nafisa Shah visited the boy's house to express sympathy with the family.
