"Stunned bystanders watched in horror as an angry protester turned himself into a fireball yesterday.
Graduate Bashir Ahmed Mir doused himself in petrol and set himself alight after being unable to find work.
Onlookers doused his burning body in water and he was said to be in a stable condition in hospital last night.
Bashir trained in electro-homeopathy, an alternative medicine which originated in the 19th century.
He torched himself in Srinagar because his degree is not recognised by the Indian Medical Council, which regards the practice as 'quackery'."
