Elvin Jafarov, an Azerbaijani veteran of the Second Karabakh War and nicknamed "Mowgli," set himself on fire in front of the executive power building of the Sabirabad District of Azerbaijan, reported the Talish_vestnik (Talysh messenger) Telegram channel.

"This was reported by athlete Elnur Jafarov, who is Elvin Jafarov's brother. Also, he noted that injustice was done to his brother in the bodies of the executive power," the aforesaid source added.

To note, this is not the first case of suicide—or its attempt—among the Azerbaijani participants in the 44-day Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) war in the fall of 2020.
