“We are trying to take the victim’s statement. She was admitted to the Civil Hospital in Valsad. We have learned that from there she was taken to a hospital in Surat,” Makwana said.
According to preliminary information, the police said that the man’s upper body suffered severe burns after he applied some kind of chemical on his head to ‘cut the hair of the fire’. He said investigations are on to find out which chemical was used for the ‘fire haircut’.
