CHENNAI: An elderly couple tried to immolate themselves on the Tiruvallur collectorate’s premises on Monday, alleging that their son took possession of their house, and drove them out five years ago. Even the man’s octogenarian mother joined in the suicide attempt as police didn't act on their complaint.
The couple -- Kumar, 60, and his wife Amlu, 55 -- residents of Kasthuri Bai Avenue, Tiruverkadu, were staying with Amlu’s mother Parijatham, 80. They had two daughters and a son named Gopi.
