TRS activist died, who set himself ablaze

Hyderabad, Sept 23: The Telangana Rashtra Samithi(TRS) leader from Vikarabad Ayub Khan has died on Friday at the Apollo Hospital, who set himself afire on August 30 in the presence of Transport Minister P Mahender Reddy in protest against the party leaders not giving recognition to those who plunged into separate State movement.

The deceased Ayub Khan immolated himself to protest against not being given a nominated post in the TRS government. He resorted to the extreme act during a TRS party workers meeting at Vikarabad on August 30.



He had said he vainly pleaded his case with several leaders, including Nizamabad MP Kavitha, for a nominated post. After ending his speech, Ayub Khan doused himself with petrol and set himself ablaze.

The shocked party workers put out the fire and shifted him to a hospital. But he succumbed to severe burn injuries in Apollo Hospital.
