Gujarat Man Sets Neighbour's Car On Fire

A man in Gujarat's Morbi allegedly set his neighbour's parked car on fire because he was irritated by the vehicle's repeatedly sounding sensor. The accused, Shikhar Gohel, poured petrol over the car and filmed it as flames engulfed the vehicle. The incident took place in the Vaghpara area on October 28.

The car, a Maruti Suzuki Swift, belonged to advocate Pushpa Bhatt. According to her complaint, the car was parked near her residence when the incident occurred at around 4:45 pm. Gohel allegedly approached the vehicle carrying a bottle of petrol and poured the fuel over its bonnet and front section. He then reportedly struck a match and set the car on fire.

CCTV footage of the incident shows the man pouring petrol on the car, setting it ablaze and then filming the act before leaving the scene. The accused allegedly recorded the entire episode on his mobile phone instead of leaving the spot immediately.

The fire completely engulfed the Swift, causing an estimated financial loss of ₹3.50 lakh. Police registered a case based on Bhatt's complaint, detained the accused and began further investigation.
