t was high drama on Thursday morning at Thiru-

moorthy Nagar in Nungambakkam when a young- ster set himself a\ufb01re right outside his friend\u2019s house. Police say he took the extreme step after the girl continued to spurn his love interest for more than six years. He died in hospital in the afternoon.

Nungambakkam police identi\ufb01ed the deceased as Suresh Kumar (24) of Andavar Koil Street in Kodam- bakkam. Suresh, an MSc Computer Science graduate who was employed in a private computer \ufb01rm, had known Nithya (name changed) for over six years.

Police said around 8:30 a.m. on Thursday morning, Suresh came outside Nithya\u2019s house on his motorcy- cle in a foul mood. \u201cAfter screaming out to someone inside the house he started to \ufb01ll a bottle with petrol from his motorcycle. Soon he doused himself with

the petrol and set himself on \ufb01re,\u201d said an in-
vestigating of\ufb01cer.

Suresh ran around the street as his body was engulfed in \ufb02ames. A few bystanders rushed in and put out the \ufb02ames and took a severely injured Suresh to the Government Kilpauk Medical Col- lege hospital, police added.

A police team from Nungambakkam that was informed about the incident reached the spot and conducted preliminary investigations. \u201cThe youngster was in love with the girl from his college days but the girl seems to have not reciprocated. Following repeatedly failed attempts he turned suicidal outside her house today (Thursday) morn- ing,\u201d the of\ufb01cer added.

Suresh, who suffered 80 per cent burns on his
body, succumbed to his injuries around 2 p.m.\u25a0
