Vikram, battling for his life at a government hospital here after he set himself ablaze at suburban Nerkundram last evening, died this morning, police said.

Tamil Nadu has been witnessing protests by several pro-Tamil groups and students demanding that Sri Lankan government be made accountable for alleged war crimes.
