Ansari’s father had plugged in his electric scooter’s battery for charging at around 2.30 AM, and the explosion took place at 4.30 AM. This means the battery was plugged in for charging for two hours. The police say that it is not yet known for how long was the battery put on charge. It is being speculated that the battery exploded due to overheating, however, the family thinks that the manufacturer is responsible for the faulty battery.
As per a statement by inspector Sampat Patil, Manikpur police station, “We have registered a case of accidental death. So far, we have not received any complaints from the family. The scooter is a 2021 model. An investigation is on.”
For the unversed, last month, a fire followed by an explosion in an electric two-wheeler was reported at an EV showroom in the parking of a luxury hotel in Secunderabad. The fire reportedly claimed the lives of eight people and caused injuries to around 10 or more people.
