During the event, a person named Devendran from Perunaatanthoppu, Meletheru of Keelapoodhanur Panchayat near Tirumarukal suddenly poured kerosene on his body and tried to set himself on fire.
In the land belonging to Devendran, some people moved the fence and blocked it a few days ago. They also attacked his daughter who questioned it. A case has also been registered in this regard. It has been revealed in the news that he tried to set himself on fire in front of the district collector’s office to take appropriate action in this regard.
