Gondal Taluka police in Gujarat’s Rajkot district have initiated proceedings against a 26-year-old man who allegedly set his overturned car on fire in an attempt to secure an insurance payout, as per a TOI report. Police said the vehicle had initially been believed to have caught fire accidentally, but an investigation later indicated that petrol had been used to deliberately ignite it.
According to police, Deep Virdiya, a resident of Patidad village, was travelling from Gondal to Patidad on September 4 when he lost control of his car while taking a turn near the village, as reported by TOI. The vehicle went off the road and overturned in a ditch. Virdiya was not injured and was assisted out of the car by local residents.
