Nagpur: A shocking incident occurred during a Holi celebration at Amrit Farms in Gumthala, under the jurisdiction of Khaparkheda Police Station, when two cars suddenly caught fire. The blaze was so intense that both vehicles were completely gutted within minutes.
Upon receiving the information, a team from the Sugat Nagar Fire Department rushed to the scene and managed to bring the fire under control. However, the exact cause of the fire remains unclear.
The two affected vehicles were a Ford (MH49 00432) owned by Vijay Amesar and a Jeep (MH49CD 0370) owned by Rohit Mukhani.
