The police said, “Indrajitsinh Jadeja (33) allegedly set his jeep on fire at Kotharia road in Rajkot on September 2 and his friend Nimesh Gohel (28) was recording the act.”
“Both the accused were arrested by the Bhaktinagar Police on September 3,” Inspector V K Gadhvi said. “They were charged for negligent conduct with respect to fire,” police inspector Mr Gadhvi said.
Police said, “Mr Jadeja, an auto-parts dealer, set his jeep on fire out of frustration as the engine of the vehicle did not turn on despite several attempts.”
“When the jeep did not start despite several attempts, (Indrajitsinh) Jadeja told his friend (Nimesh) Gohel that he will set it on fire. Out of disbelief, Gohel asked Jadeja if he was serious about it,” Mr Gadhvi said.
“When Mr Jadeja replied in affirmative, Mr Gohel stood at some distance and recorded the entire incident on his mobile phone,” the police inspector said.
“Neither Jadeja nor Gohel had planned to make a TikTok video,” the inspector said. Both the accused were arrested after the police came to know about the incident, he said.
