Furious Man Sets Himself On Fire After His Wife Refused To Stop Singing On Stage

 

 An Indian man set himself on fire in front of at least 50 people after his wife refused his wishes to stop singing on stage. Shaikh Basheer, 40, from Andhra Pradesh in southern India, had tried to ban his 35-year-old wife Sadika Sanjari from taking part in a function during the local new year celebrations on Tuesday.

The woman defied her husband's warnings and went on to sing religious songs at the event.

However, her angry husband turned up at the event and approached the stage with kerosene.

He then poured the highly flammable oil all over himself and set himself alight.

The distressing footage shows the man completely engulfed in flames as bystanders attempt to put out the fire.

They eventually use a green floor covering to wrap around the man and put out the flames.

The husband sustained 70 per cent burns and was transported to hospital. His current condition is not known.
