A 28-year-old man, who attempted self-immolation allegedly over the Sri Lankan Tamils issue, succumbed to his injuries today.
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.
