Asha Bhosle sang for more than eight decades, recording an incredible 12,000 songs, a career graph almost impossible to take stock of. Her first song was in 1943 at the age of 10 for the Marathi film “Majha Bal”.

According to reports, Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) anti-encroachment team had reached the market to remove illegal encroachments from the parking area where a lemon water kiosk had been operating for past few days. Officials said the kiosk owner had been repeatedly warned over the last 10 days but he allegedly ignored the instructions.

When the team removed his handcart on Saturday, the accused protested and accused the authorities of carrying out selective and biased action against certain individuals. In a fit of rage, he poured a flammable substance on himself and set himself ablaze.

People present at the spot immediately intervened and managed to douse the flames, preventing a major tragedy. The minorly injured trader was rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment.
