A sudden blaze broke out among confiscated vehicles parked at the Jahangirabad police station in Bhopal, completely destroying five cars and a scooter.
A fire erupted unexpectedly among a cluster of seized vehicles that were stored inside the premises of the Jahangirabad police station in Bhopal. The blaze quickly spread, engulfing five cars and a two-wheeler, reducing them to ash.
Station officials immediately called the local fire brigade, which arrived within minutes and managed to contain the fire before it could spread to other property. All the vehicles were confirmed to be completely destroyed, and no injuries were reported among police personnel or nearby civilians.
The cause of the fire is under investigation. Police have launched a preliminary inquiry to determine whether the incident was accidental, due to a technical fault, or the result of any foul play. A detailed report is expected once forensic analysis is completed.
