Electric Car Charging Sparks Massive Fire In Indore, 8 Dead

What can turn a routine overnight charge into a deadly tragedy?

At 4:00 AM near Bengali Square in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, an electric car on charge suffered a short circuit, igniting a fast-spreading fire that engulfed the house.

Gas cylinders exploded one after another, shaking the area. Due to a family gathering, relatives were staying over, trapping many inside as the electronic lock failed during the power outage.

Firefighters broke down the door, but it was too late: 8 people burned to death, 3 critically injured.

Police are investigating the cause.
