Gorakhpur (UP), March 26
Unable to repay his loan, a man on Sunday tried to immolate himself in Gorakhnath temple, where Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Adityanath was attending an event.
Rajkumar Bharti, a resident of Rajpur Devri in Ballia district, poured petrol on himself and tried to set himself afire during the Chief Minister’s programme, police said.
