A 27-year-old woman was found dead with burn injuries at her house here today, police said.
Her one-and-half-year-old son was rescued after neighbours alerted police early today when they noticed smoke from the house which was locked from inside, police said.
The partially burnt body of the woman who was identified as Soumya was found inside, police said.
The incident occurred around midnight yesterday, a senior police official said.
"The woman's husband, who was not at the house at the time of the incident, is being questioned," the official added.
A case of murder has been registered, police said.
