**Young Woman Sets Herself on Fire Over Marriage Dispute in Andhra Pradesh**
A tragic incident unfolded in Chittoor district, Andhra Pradesh, where a young woman set herself ablaze outside her boyfriend’s home, reportedly following a disagreement regarding marriage. The woman, a constable at the Proddatur Road Transport Corporation (RTC) depot in Kadapa district, is currently hospitalized and receiving treatment for her injuries.
The woman had been in a relationship with a man from her village, but it is alleged that he refused to marry her, prompting her desperate act. In a moment of emotional turmoil, she poured petrol on herself and ignited the flames outside his residence. Authorities are actively investigating the circumstances surrounding this incident.
In a related case from Karnataka, a young man attacked an 18-year-old girl with a toilet acid cleaner after she rejected his marriage proposal. The accused, identified as Anand Kumar, is a relative of the victim and reportedly in his early twenties. Following her refusal, Kumar allegedly poured the corrosive substance on her face outside her home and then attempted to take his own life by dousing himself in diesel and setting himself on fire.
Fortunately, the toilet acid cleaner used in the attack was not highly corrosive, resulting in only mild injuries for the victim, who suffered rashes and redness on her face without any disfigurement. In contrast, Kumar sustained severe injuries, with over 70 percent of his body burned.
These incidents highlight the alarming issues surrounding relationship disputes and the extreme measures some individuals may resort to in moments of emotional distress. Authorities continue to investigate both cases to ensure justice is served.
