A man sets himself on fire near Parliament in a suicide attempt.

On a Wednesday afternoon near the new Parliament building in New Delhi, a man in his early 30s attempted to set himself on fire. The Delhi Fire Service received a call about the incident at around 3:35pm and promptly sent a fire truck to the scene near the Railway Bhawan, which is located opposite the Parliament building.

The security personnel stationed near Parliament immediately rushed to help the man, who was later identified as Jitendra, a resident of Bagpat in Uttar Pradesh. He was then taken to the Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital for treatment. According to an official statement, Jitendra had ignited himself at the roundabout near Rail Bhawan. The local police, along with the railway police and some bystanders, acted quickly to put out the fire.

Initial investigations revealed that Jitendra had taken this extreme step due to a dispute he had with some individuals back home in Bagpat. The police stated that Jitendra had arrived in Delhi earlier that morning on a train. His partially burnt backpack and other belongings were found at the scene and were seized by the authorities.

The police have also contacted Jitendra's family members and are continuing their investigations into the incident. The exact reasons behind Jitendra's actions are still unclear, but the authorities are working to uncover more information. This unfortunate incident serves as a reminder to always seek help and support during times of distress and to never resort to such extreme measures.
