In a dramatic outburst over unresolved issues with his electric scooter, a frustrated Ola Electric customer reportedly set fire to a showroom in Karnataka.
According to a Moneycontrol report, Mohammad Nadeem, a 26-year-old resident of Kalaburagi in North Karnataka, purchased the scooter on August 28 but encountered ongoing issues with its battery and sound system. Despite multiple complaints and visits to the showroom, the problem remained unresolved.
Explaining the matter, a senior police officer talking about the incident said “He bought the scooter 20 days ago, but it had frequent issues. The showroom staff did not address his complaints despite his repeated visits. Frustrated, he set the showroom on fire on Tuesday.”
