Couple Set Themselves On Fire

A couple in Bengaluru today stood in front of a bulldozer, threatening to set themselves on fire if their house was demolished as the civic body continued its drive to remove structures illegally blocking the city's drainage.

The death of a poor couple, who died from burn injuries after accidentally immolating themselves to stop an eviction drive in Thiruvananthapuram, has triggered a widespread row in Kerala, with opposition parties blaming the police for the incident, following which the state government extended a helping hand to their orphaned children today.

Ten days after a couple set themselves on fire inside a police station in Uttar Pradesh's Mathura leading to the husband's death, the wife too died due to injuries on Saturday, police said.

Three policemen including the in charge of a police station in Uttar Pradesh's Mathura district have been suspended and an inquiry ordered after gory visuals showed a couple setting themselves on fire inside the compound of the police station.

Grief-stricken after the death of their only son, an elderly couple in Tamil Nadu's Coimbatore allegedly committed suicide by setting themselves on fire today, police said.
