The Gomtipur police have launched an investigation after a traditional horse-drawn carriage (buggy) was deliberately set on fire by a group of men during the night. Officers suspect the arson was motivated by personal enmity rather than a random act of vandalism.
The incident took place in a residential area of Gomtipur. According to police reports, four unidentified men approached the parked carriage under the cover of darkness. The men poured an inflammable liquid over the vehicle before setting it alight.
The attackers fled the scene as the carriage caught fire. Nearby residents noticed the blaze and alerted the authorities, but the carriage sustained severe damage before the fire could be put out.
Captured on Camera
Although the perpetrators escaped into the nearby alleys, the entire incident was recorded by a neighbouring closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera. The footage shows the four men arriving together, dousing the carriage, lighting the fire, and running away.
The Gomtipur police have registered a case of mischief by fire and damage to property. Officers are currently reviewing the footage from the camera alongside other public feeds covering the entry and exit routes of the area to establish the identities of the men.
Local police teams are questioning informants and associates of the carriage owner to find out if there was a running dispute, in an effort to uncover the exact motive behind the targeted attack.
