Its sad !

PANIPAT: An argument over a meagre amount of Rs 50 cost a young engineer his life when some truckers set him ablaze near Samalkha town on Wednesday night. Ajit Kumar, son of Om Prakash, was returning from Ghaziabad to his village — Salwan in Karnal district — when he took a lift from Bahalgarh chowk in Sonepat in a truck. Upon reaching Raja Garden in Samalkha, Ajit - working as an engineer in Ghaziabad - offered the truckers Rs 50 for the ride. However, the drivers allegedly asked for Rs 100. An argument ensued after which the truckers reportedly beat up Ajit in the vehicle’s cabin. Though the young engineer tried to flee, the truckers chased him down and reportedly poured kerosene on him, before setting him ablaze. A Panipat PCR van found Ajit ablaze near NH around 2 am and immediately doused the flames. The man was then rushed to a government hospital, where the doctors referred him to PGIMES-Rohtak with more than 90% burns. He succumbed to injuries on Thursday.
