Rajkot: Rajkot police have arrested a person for setting his own jeep on fire because it did not start. His friend shot a video of it, which thereafter went viral on social media and generated likes on TikTok. Police have also arrested his friend.

VK Gadhvi, police inspector of Bhaktinagar police station said, “Some friends of the accused asked his jeep for Ganesha procession on Monday. When they tried turning on the ignition, the jeep didn’t start and he felt that he lost credit before his friends as he could not keep his promise and in rage set the vehicle on fire.”
