    Poor maintenance and lack of regular servicing is the main cause for this kind of vehicle casualties.

    This is what happens when vehicle manufacturers compromise on safety and sub standard quality of components & materials they use in building vehicles to keep the prices low to compete with other rivals. Worst is al most 40 - 45% of on road prices of these vehicles goes to the government coffers in the form of GST and Road Tax in Karnataka. More vehicles get burnt and damage beyond repairs means more sales to the manufacturers. Government is worried only about colleting taxes and not on safety of its people.

    before 2014, we hardly used to hear such news. Now it has become common.
    Along with the feku chaiwala PM, even the manufacturers have started producing fake cars with cheap China material, the model of make in India like the Sardar Patel Statue.

    It's all happening after 2014. Now again after May 24...2019.
    May be in 5yrs it will be a worst scenario. Fake things get fire quickly.
    No safety measures in car. Cars quality is low. Substandard.

    The reason is after market high wattage bulbs. Legal limit is 60w for high beam for halogens and the cans upgrade to 110w. The holder melts, short circuit and fire. Cops should really crack down on the high wattage illegal bulbs.
