What's Happening?
A woman attempted to set herself on fire at the Nagpur City Police Commissioner's office in protest against alleged police inaction. She accused a local political leader of taking her gold ornaments worth Rs12 lakh and claimed that the Hudkeshwar police station
refused to file an FIR, dismissing it as a civil issue. The woman sought a meeting with CP Ravinder Singal, and when denied, she attempted self-immolation. Police staff intervened, preventing the act, and the Commissioner has ordered an investigation into her claims.
Why It's Important?
