Bengaluru, Jan 27 (PTI): A fire broke out at an electric vehicle showroom in Rajajinagar here on Monday afternoon and 10 vehicles were gutted and 20 were partially damaged, fire officials said.

The incident was reported to the fire department at 2.06 pm, after which two fire tenders were rushed to the spot, they said.

According to the department, the fire occurred in the basement and ground floor of the showroom where two-wheeler electric vehicles were kept.

Following the fire, 10 vehicles were burnt completely, while another 20 vehicles were partially burnt.
