A man was burnt alive on Friday as the Tata Ace vehicle he was driving caught fire trapping him inside the drivers cabin. The fire engulfed the vehicle so fast at the Railway Over Bridge (ROB) on the Do Moria Pull that the victim,Vijay Kumar (30),could not even jump out. The incident led to protests from the locals who alleged that that some police officials conducting checks on vehicles under the ROB did not even attempt to rescue Kumar,who lived in the same area. A large number of policemen had to deployed in the area even as officials sent the victims body for postmortem before handing it hover to his family members. The cause of the fire could not be ascertained yet. A senior police official announced that if allegations about the lapses on part of the personnel deployed near the Do Moria Pull were found true,action will be taken.
