#BreakingNews: FIR Filed After Two Vehicles Burnt Using Inflammable Substance in Bilaspur

Unidentified assailants set fire to two parked vehicles in Sidhrawali village early on December 17, 2025, reducing a Mahindra Thar and a Maruti Suzuki WagonR to ashes in an apparent act of arson. The incident occurred around 2:10 a.m. while residents were asleep, with the suspects allegedly pouring an inflammable substance on the vehicles outside the home of brothers Raman Yadav and Pardeep Kumar.

CCTV footage from the entrance of Yadav's house captured a masked individual committing the act, providing key evidence for investigators. Locals noticed the flames several minutes later and alerted authorities, but by the time police and fire services arrived, both vehicles had been extensively damaged, with the blaze also affecting parts of the nearby residence.

Raman Yadav, a 33-year-old pharmacy business owner, filed a complaint suspecting neighbours involved in an ongoing six-month dispute. He alleged that the same family had previously damaged his car on October 4, 2025, but no action was taken by police at the time, prompting him to believe the arson was retaliation.
