A man in his middle years who was distressed by his second wife's refusal to reconcile, resorted to extreme measures by setting himself ablaze in front of the Chandragiri police station in Andhra Pradesh's Tirupati district on Monday (November 20).

As per reports, he went to the police station to register a complaint to which the police allegedly threatened him to book him in false cases.

He had previously married a woman and subsequently parted ways

Identified as Manikantha, originally from Vijayawada, he had previously married a woman and subsequently parted ways. Later, he entered into marriage with Durga from Tiruttani in Tamil Nadu, relocating to Hyderabad for employment and settling there, as per reports in Deccan Chronicle.

Their relationship deteriorated

However, three months prior, their relationship deteriorated, leading Durga to depart for Kurnool, where she began a cohabitation arrangement with another individual named Sonu, also known as Basha.

She remained steadfast in her decision to stay with Sonu.
