There are conflicting reports,
however. Some say it happened in Dubai Mall on June 4, others say it took place
in the city of Agadir in Morocco on June 3.
On its official Twitter account,
the Dubai Civil Defence explained that the fire was caused due to a faulty
mobile phone that exploded in the victim's pocket. However, they stated that
the incident did not take place anywhere in the UAE.
According to Moroccan news site
Agadir24, the man who went up in flames is a 30-year-old criminal and the
incident happened at the entrance of the Marjane supermarket in Morocco on June
3rd.
Agadir24 reports that the man who
has a criminal record first entered the mall on Sunday morning to steal. He was
caught in the act of shoplifting and was forced to pay for it or go to prison.
Once the stolen object was paid for, he left the store, only to return later in
the afternoon equipped with a flammable product with which he set himself on
fire.
He suffered second and
third-degree burns and was taken to Hassan II Hospital in Agadir by law
enforcement who arrived at the scene.
