AHMEDABAD, India (Reuters) - A jobless alcoholic burned himself to death after his wife refused to serve him meat for dinner, Indian police said Sunday.
Sixty-year-old Mithailal Ram Sanjivan doused his body with an inflammable liquid and set himself ablaze outside his one-room house in Ahmedabad, the main city of western Gujarat state.
Police said the victim, who had been without a job for years, and his wife, Geeta Sanjivan, 54, had a scuffle over the dinner menu.
The wife refused to cook meat as they could not afford it.
Irritated by this, Sanjivan locked her in the house before setting himself on fire outside.
I've heard of the term "to die for" applied to food but I never thought someone would take it literally! Someone apparently did. Sad...
