Kalaburagi man sets two-wheelers at Electric showroom on fire over non-resolution of his bike issues
Kalaburagi (Karnataka), Sep 11: A 26-year-old man was arrested for allegedly setting bikes on fire at an Ola Electric showroom here after failing to get issues relating to his two-wheeler resolved despite multiple visits to the outlet, police said on Wednesday.
A "frustrated" Mohammad Nadeem entered the showroom with petrol and allegedly torched about six bikes on Tuesday, and soon the blaze spread to the entire outlet. He was later arrested.
According to a senior police officer, he had purchased an electric scooter from the showroom in August and when he was facing issues operating it, he approached the outlet staff multiple times but they did not respond to his concerns and kept neglecting his requests.

No one was injured in the incident, police said, adding, further investigation is underway.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
