A man is currently fighting for his life after he caught fire while
attempting to light a government sculpture during a demonstration in
Bathinda, India.
The protest consisted of teachers who were expressing their grievances
at the Punjab government for not fulfilling the promise made to them to
regularise their services after their two-year contract.
As the protest
was underway, the victim, Sukhminder Singh Mann, reportedly poured
petrol on the effigy and it seems some spilled onto his clothes because
he went up in flames soon after. Other protesters helped subdue the
flames and rushed him to the hospital.
