Dinesh Yadav, a supporter of Anna Hazare who
set himself on fire here last week, succumbed to his injuries early Monday,
police said.
"He died this (Monday) morning and his
body has been given to his family. They have already left for Paliganj in
Bihar to perform his last rites," a senior police officer told IANS.
There were media reports quoting his family
that the 32-year-old had died last week, but police denied the reports.
Yadav shouted pro-Hazare slogans and poured
petrol on himself and set himself on fire near Rajghat Aug 23.
He sustained 70-80 percent burn injuries
and was rushed to Lok Nayak Hospital.
The doctors at the hospital refused to comment
on the case.
