A 17-year-old girl school student was battling for life in Tamil Nadu Sunday after setting herself on fire over the jailing of chief minister J Jayalalithaa, police said.
The teenager, M Nagalakshmi, was admitted to the government hospital in Madurai town with around 80% burn injuries, a police officer said.
She attempted suicide at her house when her family members were away.
The student reportedly became upset after a special court in Bangalore late Saturday sentenced Jayalalitha to four years in jail for corruption.
