Influencer says his Lamborghini Aventador that caught fire "not" scrapped
Bengaluru, Aug 4 (PTI): The owner of luxury car-- Lamborghini Aventador that caught fire on a busy street here a couple of days ago, videos of which went viral on social media, has junked the claim that the vehcile has been scrapped.
In an Instagram reel, influencer Sanjeev S, who is famously known as Nimma Mane Maga Sanju, showed that nothing happened to his vehicle despite the fire.
"The vehicle is very much here, as you can see it. Nothing happened to it. Only a little damage," pointed out Sanjeev in a reel posted on August 3.
According to him, he took his family out on Saturday and while returning, the car caught fire at Kundalahalli.
"I had a fire extinguisher, which I always keep with me. I parked the vehicle to the side, so that people won't be inconvenienced. I then tried to douse the fire," he said.
Meanwhile, many people were making videos of this, he said.
"They had uploaded it on YouTube and other social media platforms," he added.
Sanjeev said in his Insta reel that people started trolling him about how he often goes to temples -- and makes reels of them -- and yet that could not save his car.
"But what do they know? It was God who sent me autorickshaw driver and a cab driver to help me put out the fire," said Sanjeev.
A wire had caught fire due to petrol leakage; it has got nothing to do with the engineering of the car, said Sanjeev.
"Try to help people when they are facing a crisis instead of making videos," said the social media influencer.
The viral videos, which show flames erupting from the rear of the expensive 4-wheeler where its engine is located, had people, including Managing Director of Raymond Group, Gautam Singhania, demanding the luxury car maker to take responsibility.
Singhania posted on X: "Another day, another Lamborghini in flames. This time in Bengaluru. This isn't a "rare incident" anymore. It's a pattern."
"Why is Lamborghini silent??? Why are their cars catching fire??? Are their cars safe??? Should they be allowed in India???"
The viral clips also show passersby rushing to pour water in an attempt to stop the fire.

GPS tracking leads Delhi Police to arrest of habitual offender in cheating case
New Delhi (PTI): The Delhi Police has arrested a 40-year-old proclaimed offender for allegedly cheating a woman of her gold ornaments and cash in northwest Delhi, officials said on Monday.
The arrest was made after the police tracked the movement of the accused's vehicle using a GPS device, they said.
The accused, identified as Rahul, was arrested from the Model Town area on Sunday. Police also recovered the car which was used in the commission of the crime.
According to the police, Rahul is a habitual criminal involved in nine cases, including robbery, snatching, theft, culpable homicide. He is also a proclaimed offender in seven different cases.
"He committed such offences to earn easy money," Additional Commissioner of Police (Northwest) Bhisham Singh said in a statement.
The incident took place on January 18 when a 55-year-old woman was travelling from her residence to Uttam Nagar. While she was waiting at the Haiderpur bus stand, the occupants of a car offered her a lift, claiming to be bank officials.
Once she boarded the vehicle, the accused persuaded her to hand over her gold ornaments and cash for "verification", stating they were also depositing their own money.
The woman handed over two gold rings, two ear tops and Rs 5,000 in cash. Shortly after, the accused asked her to alight quickly and handed her an envelope, claiming that bank officials had arrived.
Upon checking, the woman found the only papers in the envelop, while the accused fled with her belongings. The woman later approached the police and lodged a complaint.
Following the complaint, police analysed technical inputs and traced the car used in the crime. A GPS tracking device was installed in the vehicle to monitor its movement discreetly.
"Based on real-time location data generated through the GPS device, the accused was tracked and apprehended," the officer said.
During interrogation, Rahul confessed to his involvement in the case along with two others, identified as Manoj and Amit. Efforts are on to arrest the remaining suspects and recover the stolen items, the officer added.
