Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh) [India], August 21 (ANI): A woman, along with her two-year-old daughter, allegedly committed suicide by setting herself on fire in Madhya Pradesh's Gwalior district on Wednesday late at night, a police official said on Thursday.
The incident took place in Simaria Tal village under the jurisdiction of Dabra police station in Gwalior district.

"An unfortunate incident took place in Simaria Tal village in Dabra police station limits, where a woman, along with her 2-year-old daughter, set herself on fire by pouring diesel in her house.
