Separate Incident Highlights Rising Car Fire Concerns
In an unrelated case, a parking dispute in Delhi’s Lajpat Nagar led to another vehicle fire last month. The accused, Rahul Bhasin, reportedly set his neighbor Ranjeet Chauhan’s car ablaze following a heated argument. The act was caught on CCTV, and investigations are ongoing.
These incidents highlight the devastating consequences of vehicle fires and the grief they leave behind for families and communities.
