A husband and wife, Santosh and Jaishree Vyas, set themselves on fire in Madhya Pradesh.
They were protesting because the government was trying to demolish part of their house.

After a big argument, the couple poured something flammable on themselves and set themselves on fire.
They were badly hurt and taken to the hospital.
Their family and neighbors are very upset and are protesting against the government.
A couple, Santosh and Jaishree Vyas, set themselves on fire in protest against an anti-encroachment drive in Dewas, Madhya Pradesh.
