Bengaluru (PTI): A 24-year-old woman died of self-immolation at Kundalahalli in the city after her uncle allegedly blackmailed her with private photos and videos, police said on Thursday.

According to the police, the incident took place on January 12 evening.

The woman set herself afire by pouring inflammable material on her body.
