Car driver burnt alive in fire that engulfed his car after collision with truck in Chamarajnagar
Chamarajanagar: Chamarajanagar witnessed a tragic incident on Saturday night as a car collided with a goods lorry on the national highway near Hirikar Gate in Gundlupet taluk, resulting in the car driver's untimely demise in a subsequent fire. The deceased driver has been identified as Muzammil Ahmed, aged 35, while the lorry driver sustained minor injuries.
According to the police, the car was en route from Mysuru to Gundlupet on the Mysuru-Ooty National Highway when the collision occurred around 10:45 pm near the Hirikar Gate, close to Begur. The car collided head-on with the goods lorry, which was traveling from Gundlupet towards Mysuru.
Tragically, a fire broke out following the collision, and while the occupants of the lorry managed to escape by jumping out, Ahmed was unable to extricate himself from the car and was ultimately burnt alive. The exact cause of the fire is yet to be determined.
The fire brigade promptly arrived at the accident scene upon receiving the report of the fire. However, due to the intensity of the flames, it took considerable time to extinguish them. Consequently, both the car and the goods lorry were completely gutted by the fire. The incident also disrupted traffic flow on the highway, with vehicles queuing up for nearly a kilometer.
Local Police have registered a case at the Begur Police Station, and an investigation into the incident is currently underway.

The eyewitnesses are being questioned in minute detail to piece together the sequence of events that led to one of the worst terror attacks in Kashmir, they said.
The entry and exit points are being closely scrutinised by the investigating NIA teams for clues to the modus operandi of the terrorists, the officials said.

NIA teams, which have been camping at the terror attack site since Wednesday, have intensified the search for evidence, they said.
The anti-terror agency has taken over the Pahalgam terror attack case following orders from the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA).
