Immediately the hospital staff and public poured water on him and doused the fire. He was then rushed into the intensive care unit of the hospital in a critical condition. During police enquiry, Mohan told that he took the extreme step over some property dispute.
Despite petitioning the district collector, Mohan claimed there was no action on the issue.
