Tamil Nadu Social Worker dies after self-immolation in support of Eelam Tamil cause

Published Date: 04/03/2013 (Monday)

Mani, a 41-year-old social worker of coastal Nallavadu village in Cuddalore district, doused himself with petrol and set himself ablaze at the Collectorate complex in Cuddalore, raising slogans against Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapakse and demanding that he be tried in the International Court of Justice for alleged war crimes, police said.

Mani was admitted to the government hospital in Cuddalore with serious burns. He was later moved to Government Kilpauk Medical College hospital in Chennai, where he succumbed to his injuries around 8.45pm. Reports say Mani went to the Collectorate to present a petition to the collector on the Eelam Tamil issue.
