Self-immolation was attempted by a man in Jeedimetla allegedly as a result of harassment by a local corporator. Police said the corporator borrowed money from him as a hand loan and refused to repay it.
During the 2015 municipal elections, a man named Ch. Narasimha Chary (43), who lives with his wife and two daughters in Dwaraka Nagar, reportedly gave a hand loan of Rs.25 lakh to D.Venkatesh Goud, a corporator.
In spite of repeated requests, Goud continued to postpone repayment of the loan, police said. Reports also mentioned that he also refused to pay money at one point and avoided him. After being unable to handle this, Chary set himself on fire on Monday. He was rushed to the Osmania General Hospital for treatment.
According to reports, he is in stable condition. An investigation is being conducted by the Jeedimetla police.
