The Road Ministry has allegedly asked a detailed report about the fire and its probable causes. Currently, there are no details about the exact model of the electric scooter that caught fire. However, the board outside the Ruby Luxury Hotel shows the banner of Gemopai scooters. This new incident adds to a long list of the EV fires that took place earlier this year.

Companies such as PureEV, Okinawa Autotech and even Ola Electric have been under the scanner of the govt for similar EV fire accidents. However, the latest case has caused the maximum number of fatalities.
The Govt has already issued a draft notification looking toward issuing new battery safety requirements including Battery Management Systems. The draft notification was issued earlier this month.
