Woman from Naalumavadi attempts self-immolation
A woman from Naalumavadi attempted self-immolation in front of the Thoothukudi Collector's office, alleging police inaction regarding a land grabbing case.
Rajalakshmi (46) from Naalumavadi, who came to the Thoothukudi District Collector's office for the public grievance redressal meeting, suddenly attempted to set herself on fire with kerosene.
Police personnel on duty intervened and rescued her by pouring water on her. Her husband, Rajan, stated that his wife resorted to this extreme step because the Kurumbur police failed to take action regarding the illegal occupation of their land.
