A 42-year-old man died in a fire mishap in Abids, allegedly triggered by a mosquito coil used by him inside a luxury car, during the wee hours of Saturday.
Abids ACP K. Poorna Chander said that the man, Santosh, a resident of Kulsumpura, was working as a watchman at a mechanic shed in Abids. “The incident occurred at around 3:30 a.m. on Saturday. He reportedly decided to sleep inside a Mercedes Benz of a businessman which was given for regular servicing at the shed in Abids. Preliminary enquiry revealed that he used a mosquito coil inside the car, which allegedly caused a fire by sticking to the seats and rendering him unconscious in his sleep before the car went up in flames, killing him in the mishap,” said the official. Based on a complaint, the Abids police booked a case and shifted the body for postmortem examination.
