A 65-year-old man allegedly poured petrol and set himself on fire after a fight over a delay in serving him tea in Uttar Pradesh's Banda district.

Avadh Kishor allegedly had a fight with his daughter and daughter-in-law over a delay in serving him tea.

His family said that Avadh Kishor was reeling under stress for some time over domestic disputes. His wife was also living at her parents' place but his married daughter used to live with him.

On Thursday, Avadh asked his daughter and daughter-in-law for tea. When it was delayed, he got upset, leading to an argument between them.

He then poured petrol and set himself on fire. He was rushed to a hospital where he died, a police official said.

Reading the article, he has a ton of other stuff going on. It wasn't about the tea.
