A 37-year-old man tried to immolate himself near the Malwani police station in suburban Mumbai this afternoon, police said.
Mukesh Sonawane, resident of Kharodi village, set himself on fire after pouring kerosene on his trousers before entering the police station premises.
Policemen present on the spot immediately put out the flames and took him to a nearby hospital where he was being treated.
Sonawane and his neighbour were having a dispute over repairs of Sonawane's hut, according to the police. Sonawane's mother had lodged a complaint against the neighbour on February 13, accusing him of abusing her family.
