A wedding celebration in Uttar Pradesh’s Gandevada village took a dangerous turn when a car caught fire during the baraat procession. The incident, which occurred on Friday in the Fatehpur police station area, was sparked by a man bursting firecrackers through the vehicle’s sunroof.
According to an NDTV report, there were no casualties, but the car was completely destroyed in the fire. A viral video of the incident shows the man igniting fireworks, which quickly caused flames to engulf the vehicle. Passengers inside scrambled to escape, while panicked onlookers and locals fled the scene.
Watch here:
The video is garnering widespread attention, inciting various reactions. A user wrote, “Well its satisfying to watch……these Clown probably thought it was cool to do that.” Another user commented, “Apparently burning crqckers irresponsibly and without safety considerations is “cool”. Just look at surge of reels post diwali of people boasting it.”
“Ban them. There are more than a thousand reasons to ban them. We can live without it,” a third user said. “These people should know about the dangers of bursting fireworks in the car. Anyways the car got damaged, the occupants got injured and insurance won’t give them money. Loss,” another user commented.
The report also stated that the police seized the vehicle and a fine was imposed on the accused. Last month, firecrackers shot from a vehicle’s roof in Chandigarh led to a police investigation. Earlier, several videos of young men setting off firecrackers from the roofs of moving cars during Diwali in Gurugram caught attention and sparked legal action against the accused.
