Owner puts hit XL6 on Fire: Why?
In a shocking turn of events that has left the automotive community baffled, a recently purchased Maruti XL6 MPV burst into flames inside an authorized dealer showroom, a scene captured on CCTV and widely circulated on social media. The owner, Geet Vaishnav from Rampayali, Madhya Pradesh, had bought the Maruti XL6 just a month ago, investing approximately Rs 13 lakh in the vehicle. Dissatisfied with its performance due to a reported technical fault, Vaishnav took the vehicle to the Kamathi Motor Servicing Center in Garra on Sunday.

Mitesh Surana, the in-charge of the service center, explained that the car was new, and Vaishnav had brought it in for its first servicing. After registering his complaint, Vaishnav was assured that the vehicle would be attended to, with a deadline set until 4:30 pm. However, the situation took a drastic turn when Vaishnav arrived at the service center at two o’clock and, for reasons yet unclear, proceeded to pour petrol on his new Maruti XL6 and set it ablaze, causing chaos within the showroom. Despite frantic efforts to extinguish the fire, its intensity proved overwhelming, resulting in significant damage to the vehicle.
The perplexing question of why the car owner resorted to such extreme measures remains unanswered. Authorities are currently conducting an investigation into the incident, and the Maruti dealer has filed a complaint with the local police. Thankfully, no injuries were reported in this incident.
