A 17-year-old has died in Andhra Pradesh's Nandyala district after a 21-year-old set her on fire because she had rejected his advances. The accused, Raghavendra, suffered 70 per cent burns in the fire he started, news agency PTI has reported. Police have taken him into custody.

Late on Monday night, Raghavendra reached the home of the victim's grandparents and knocked on the door of the room the girl was sleeping in. The moment she opened the door, he entered and locked the door from the inside. He then allegedly poured petrol on her and set her on fire. Raghavendra allegedly gagged her so that she could not scream for help.
