Indianapolis, IN. On April 3, 2007, Perry Township authorities responded to a 911 call made from a private home, finding a badly burned Nupur Srivastava, 33, who told the police that her boyfriend at the time, Michael Wilson, poured gasoline on her and set her afire. Nupur suffered from third-degree burns, the most severe kind, over 80 percent of her body. She remained in critical condition in the burn unit, in a medically-induced coma, until approximately 3 a.m. on May 15th, Mother's Day, when she finally succumbed to her severe injuries. Her family had a private memorial service in Indianapolis for her the following Tuesday.

Nupur's chilling words during a 911 call and inside an ambulance will likely be crucial to the case. A man had called 911 from the home in the 8500 block of Winding Ridge Road, according to a police probable cause affidavit, and a female voice believed to be Nupur's could be heard in the background. "Why did you do that?" she said. "I didn't know it was going to be like that," the male caller said. Later, the police affidavit stated Nupur told a Perry Township firefighter: "He poured gas on me and burned me."

Michael Wilson is currently being held in the Marion County Jail without bond, charged with murder. He initially told investigators the fire was an accident, that he was trying to light a grill in the backyard, but police investigation found the plastic raincover on the grill still in place. He later changed details of his account, according to police investigation. The couple began dating in December and had experienced problems. In March, police responded to a report of abuse involving the couple at a motel, but neither wanted to press a formal complaint, according to police, so no further action was taken. A few days ater, Nupur called 911 at another motel in Greenwood. Wilson admitted to police on the scene that he had pushed her, and in that case, he was arrested on a preliminary charge of public intoxication.
