A 26-year-old Tibetan man on Monday set himself on fire at Jantar Mantar, two days ahead of Chinese President Hu Jintao’s visit to India for the BRICS summit. 

The victim was identified as Jhampel Yetshi, who has been living in India since 2006, when he escaped from Tibet. 

He was admitted to a hospital where he is being treated for 90 per cent burns and is said to be critical.
