An Indian woman who arrived in Austin, around the first week of April, has been charged with setting her husband on fire April 17 and is in custody on $1 million bail.

Shriya Biman Patel, 25, allegedly poured gasoline over her husband in the midst of an oil massage, and lit him on fire. Police responded to 911 calls from neighbors, and found the victim naked in his bathroom, with severe burns over 70 percent of his body. He was airlifted to Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas.

"Why did she burn me?" Mr. Patel was heard saying as he was being wheeled to a medical helicopter. "Why did she burn me? All I was trying to do was love her,” he said, according to local media.

Shriya Patel apparently told police on the scene that her husband had set himself onfire. Police say that the woman, in the pretext of giving her husband an oil massage, poured gasoline all over him and set him on fire. Police also say it was premeditated and was unlike any case they could remember. The smoke alarm in the apartment was disabled and the sprinkler heads were covered with plastic bags. A Wal-Mart surveillance video shows the woman buying the items used in the attack.

Austin Police said that there was ample evidence to show that Shriya Patel had planned the attack. “She actually went to Walmart and bought several items to tape up the sprinkler heads and smoke detectors,” they stated. A Walmart security video tape shows Shriya buying several items there, including scarves used in the attack.

According to AP, the couple had been married for a year, and Shriya had only been in theU.S. for seven days after coming from India.
