The man who allegedly burnt a woman tehsildar alive in her office near here over some land dispute, succumbed to his injuries at a hospital here on Thursday, police said.
On November 4, Tahsildar Vijaya Reddy died after she was allegedly set on fire by K Suresh.
"Suresh succumbed to his injuries at around 3.25 PM on Thursday at the hospital while undergoing treatment," a senior police official told PTI.
The assailant walked into the Tahsildar's chamber and poured petrol on her before setting her on fire using a lighter.
He also suffered burns in the daring attack that sent shock waves across the state. Police said a scientific investigation was underway and they were probing from all angles to ascertain the exact reason that provoked Suresh to the extreme step of setting the Tahsildar on fire.
