In a distressing incident in Badaun, Uttar Pradesh, a young man, Gulfam, attempted self-immolation outside the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) office on January 1 over an unresolved e-rickshaw robbery case. Gulfam, a resident of Nai Sarai, reportedly had his e-rickshaw and INR 2,200 snatched two days ago but claimed the police failed to file an FIR. Frustrated by the lack of action, he took this drastic step. A disturbing video of the incident, showing Gulfam setting himself on fire and police officers rushing to extinguish the flames, surfaced on social media, prompting an official response. According to police, Gulfam was under stress due to multiple cases filed against him by his in-laws amid a prolonged familial dispute.┬аHe was initially treated at a nearby hospital before being referred to a facility in Bareilly for further care.┬аBadaun Shocker: Depressed Over Cancelled Wedding, Woman Dies by Suicide in Uttar Pradesh; Names Neighbour in Note.
