A young man, who was reportedly rejected by the parents of a minor girl he intended to marry, allegedly immolated himself outside the latter’s house in Falaknuma police limits late on Saturday.
Mohammaed Jamal, 20, a tailor from Mailardevpally, suffered severe burns and succumbed to injuries while undergoing treatment.
Police said the youth had been working at a tailor shop at Falaknuma for the past few years. During the course of visits to his master tailor’s house, Jamal grew fond of his 16-year-old daughter. The youth informed the family about his interest, and was instantly rejected. However, he continued his proposals, which only led to bitter experiences between the families.
