In a dramatic incident in central India’s Madhya Pradesh, an electric scooter caught fire near the PSQ line, leading to several explosions.

The incident took place in Shivpuri district on October 8.

Visuals showed smoke emerging from the electric scooter, followed by a fire that triggered multiple explosions from the vehicle.

According to reports, the fire started at around 9:30 am when Raj Kumar Valmiki, a Nagar Palika sweeper, was working near Subhash Chowk. His electric scooter, which had a history of battery issues, suddenly emitted smoke and caught fire. In two years, the scooter’s battery had been replaced four times before the final malfunction that led to it being completely destroyed by the fire.
