Jawaharnagar police inspector P. Bikshapathi Rao sustained severe burn injuries when inmates of a house allegedly threw kerosene on his legs and set him afire on Thursday at Balaji Nagar in the area.
Mr. Rao, according to sources, went inside after noticing smoke billowing from the house, as two women living there were threatening to set themselves on fire protesting the encroachment demolition drive by the municipal authorities.
“When the inspector, who was on the spot assisting the GHMC officers, noticed smoke coming from the house, he rushed there in an attempt to rescue the women. But, when he opened the door, they suddenly threw kerosene on his legs, and set him afire,” police said.
