Official apathy, indifference, neglect and absurdities can often reduce a long suffering victim to this.........
A 45 year old woman doused herself with kerosene and set herself ablaze right outside the Delhi Police Headquarters right in the midst of hundreds of passers by and bystanders on Monday evening.........
According to shocked, bewildered and utterly shaken eyewitnesses Sushila a resident of the Durga Park locality in West Delhi's Sagarpur area poured an inflammable liquid on herself (suspected to be kerosene) all over herself lit a matchstick and lit one end of her saree before stunned bystanders could either react or dissuade her from doing so........
This heart rending incident occurred at around 4:15 pm or so on the fateful Monday evening right outside the Delhi Police Headquarters located in close proximity to the eternally busy and densely populated ITO complex in Central Delhi.........
Police personnel on duty within the Headquarters rushed to her aid doused the flames and rushed her to the nearby government run Lok Nayak Jayprakash Narayan (LNJP) Hospital where she is battling for her life with more than 55% or so burns.........
According to a concerned police official; the woman and her daughter had made a beeline towards the police headquarters in order to register their complaint in the presence of senior police officials and their inability to meet the desired officials might have prompted the woman to resort to this desperate measure...........
"We are waiting for the woman to regain some semblance of coherence and stability in order to record her statement and ascertain the reasons for her resorting to this life threatening stance", the very same police official signed off..........
