Boy sets himself on fire in city

Staff Correspondent
An 18-year old boy, being refused by his 'beloved', set himself on fire before her yesterday in front of Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH). Md Ripon, a resident in city's Islambagh, did the act just as his alleged 14-year old 'beloved' reached the spot with her father, an employee of a drug store near the DMCH. Physicians of DMCH Burn Unit said Ripon suffered around 25 percent burn on his body.
