    Looks like some insurance agent(s) in DK & Udupi has found a massive crack in the T&Cs of the vehicle insurance and giving ideas to few motivated vehicle owners. Someone will get arrested soon.

    These spontaneous fires occurring in a small area end-to-end is very puzzling 🤔; it can't be a coincidence or reports should have been pouring out from across the country 😔! There is some common factor IMHO! Please note that this is a very personal and generic opinion based on my perception and understanding!!

    Happening far too regularly these days all over the country. Similar incident of a car catching fire outside Ladyhill convent school on Saturday.
