Earlier this week, a bus operating in Greater Noida caught fire after its emergency exit was blocked, preventing passengers from evacuating quickly.
Investigators say that paint thinner stored on the vehicle contributed to the rapid spread of flames, turning a manageable incident into a larger blaze.
Firefighters arrived within minutes and worked for several hours to contain the fire, preventing it from reaching nearby structures.
Authorities are now probing the incident to determine whether safety protocols were followed and whether the presence of flammable liquid was a violation of regulations.
