On Saturday, an electric scooter caught fire in Hosur, a major industrial hub in Tamil Nadu’s Krishnagiri district, creating widespread fear. However, the owner, a supervisor at a private corporation in Bengaluru, had a lucky escape.
Satish Kumar, a Hosur resident, observed his scooter catching fire from beneath the seat and leapt to safety. Passers-by came to his aid in putting out the fire. However, according to authorities, the scooter was completely destroyed. Satish had purchased the electric two-wheeler the previous year.
