The video was recorded on the Kotharia road in Rajkot where the man was seen casually standing alongside his Jeep before throwing a lit matchstick into the car. The vehicle then quickly catches fire so it is certain that the man has poured some combustible liquids like petrol on the vehicle. As the car burst into flames, passersby were trying to swerve their vehicles to avoid the fire.

Doing such kind of things on the public roads is, beyond doubts, illegal in India and understandably, the guys have been arrested by the police after the video went viral on the Internet. In fact, burning a car in a busy junction with many vehicles and pedestrians around is extremely dangerous. Luckily, no injury occurred due to this incident.
