SURAT: A 28-year-old unemployed youth set himself on fire in his house here on Friday afternoon. He was rushed to a hospital where he succumbed to his burn injuries.
The deceased Madhu Chavda, a resident of Bhagwan Nagar in Katargam, set himself on fire and then ran out towards Bhagwan Nagar crossroads. People attempted to douse the fire and called 108 ambulance. He was rushed to Surat Municipal Institute Medical Education and Research ( SMIMER). Chavda had sustained 85 per cent burn injuries, a police official said.
He was declared dead at around 5.45 pm. Police are trying to find out from the family members the exact reason which made Chavda commit suicide. Chavda’s father Kalu stays in a separate house in the same society. The family belongs to Bhavnagar. The deceased had got married a year ago and began living separately. Chavda’s pregnant wife claimed that there was no dispute between them. Chavda was unemployed since long. “He was asked by his father to start working. He used to borrow money from his father for his expenses,” police added.
