A Bhuddist monk sets himself ablaze to protest against the killing of cattles for they are considered sacred. The weird incident took place near the famed Temple of Buddha's Tooth Relic in the central town of Kandy, Sri Lanka. 

He suffered terrible injuries after he went up in flame. He is currently being hospitalized at the Colombo National Hospital undergoing medical attention.
