In a shocking incident, a man allegedly set his son on fire over a financial dispute in broad daylight with chilling videos showing him engulfed in flames trying desperately to save himself. According to police, 55-year old Surendra, a native of Rajasthan allegedly threw paint thinner on his 25-year old son Arpit on the roadside and then set him on fire on April 1 at Azad Nagar near Chamrajpet.
