A 22-year-old woman who was allegedly set on fire by her male friend near the Thikkodi panchayat office succumbed to the burns at the Government Medical College Hospital, Kozhikode, on Friday. The police identified the victim as Krishnapriya Manoj, a native of Thikkodi.
The incident took place in front of the Thikkodi panchayat office around 9.45 a.m. Soon after the attack, the suspect, Nandu Mohan, resorted to self-immolation and was hospitalised with severe burns.
By the time Fire and Rescue Services personnel reached the spot, both of them had sustained critical burns. Local people’s attempt to douse the flames went in vain. Hospital sources said both of them were brought in a critical state with fourth degree burns.
Pakistan coach Gary Kirsten stated that “not so great decision making” contributed to his side’s defeat to India in the Group-A T20 World Cup clash here on Sunday. The batting unit came apart in the chase, after being well placed at 72 for two. With 48 runs needed from eight overs, Pakistan found a way to panic and lose. “Maybe not so great decision making,” Kirsten said at the post-match press conference, when asked to explain the loss.
