Patient sets counsellor afire: HT Correspondent, Jabalpur, March 6, 2007

A MAN from Sidhi, believed to be mentally unstable and undergoing counselling,

on Tuesday set on fire the medical counsellor at Government Netaji Subhash

Chandra Bose Medical College and Hospital here.

Hospital superintendent Dr Pradeep Kasar said the condition of the counsellor,

Sanjay Shrivastava (32), who sustained 80 per cent burns, was critical.

Accused Kaushal Kishore Jaiswal (34) had come to Shrivastava about a month ago,

claiming he was suffering from AIDS. Shrivastava had been trying to convince

Jaiswal that he was in good health. On Tuesday, Jaiswal set Shrivastava on fire

after sprinkling petrol on him.

The accused told the police that had he not done this, the counsellor would have

killed him. Jaiswal was not happy with the manner in which he was being treated

at the hospital, Garha police station TI Dipak Mishra said. The police said

Jaiswal, who appeared mentally unstable, had received some burns on his hands.

Some files in the chamber of Shrivastava were also destroyed in the fire.
