Karimnagar: Two youth set themselves ablaze outside the office Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) legislator Rasamayi Balakishan here on Sunday.
The youth have been identified as M Srinivas (25) and Y Parushuramulu (23). Both have been admitted to a Government hospital with severe burns after trying to burn themselves outside the office.
Srinivas and Parasuram had gone to their village revenue office to claim land under a scheme for Dalits or underprivileged farmers. But the officer there allegedly demanded Rs.20,000 to facilitate what was legitimately theirs.
“We waited from 10 am to 3:30 pm. Then we were asked to leave without a meeting,” said a villager who was with them.
