An Ola cab driver was discovered burned to death in Rohtak with his vehicle absent, prompting police to treat the case as a possible homicide.
Police in Rohtak, Haryana, recovered the charred body of an Ola cab driver early on Wednesday. The driver was found inside a burnt vehicle, and the car itself was not recovered from the scene.
Investigators noted that the fire appeared to have been set deliberately, and the missing automobile suggests an attempt to conceal evidence. Forensic teams have been called in to examine the remains and determine the cause of the blaze.
Authorities have opened a murder investigation, treating the incident as a homicide rather than an accident. They have appealed to the public for any information about the driver’s last route, possible passengers, or suspicious activity in the area.
The case adds to a series of violent incidents involving commercial drivers in the region, prompting local officials to review safety protocols for ride‑hailing services.
