Two cops attempt self-immolation at Chennai DGP office

According to reports, two armed forces policemen from Theni on Wednesday attempted to immolate themselves when they came to file a complaint of caste-based discrimination by higher officials. The incident took place in the office of Director General of Police in Chennai. The cops - Ragu and Ganesh - reportedly alleged that the higher officials transferred them to Ramanathapuram because of their caste, even as they have no cases of any fault on their side. Fellow cops stopped them from immolating themselves.
