Man Sets Himself on Fire Near India's Parliament Building

The man, identified as Jitendra from Uttar Pradesh, is hospitalized with severe burns, and police are investigating a possible personal dispute as the motive.

A man set himself on fire near the new Parliament building in New Delhi on Wednesday afternoon and was rushed to Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital in critical condition.
The man, identified as Jitendra from Baghpat, Uttar Pradesh, reportedly acted due to distress over a family dispute involving legal issues and jail time for multiple individuals.
The incident occurred near the Railway Bhawan, opposite the Parliament building, and was immediately addressed by local police, railway police, and bystanders who extinguished the flames.
A partially burned two-page note was recovered from the scene, and investigators are working to understand its contents and relevance to the incident.
Forensic teams and police are conducting a thorough investigation, while Parliament is currently not in session, having adjourned on December 20.
