A devastating incident unfolded in the Motibaug area of Junagadh on Wednesday evening, resulting in the death of a 32-year-old man after he set himself on fire at an office. The victim, identified as Javid alias Jabir Qadri, was a garment businessman and father of two children. According to preliminary police findings, Qadri visited an office where a married woman, with whom he was said to be infatuated, was employed.
