Uttar Pradesh: In a shocking turn of event, a car caught fire in Uttar Pradesh’s Saharanpur after a man was shooting firecrackers through its sunroof during a wedding procession. In the scary video, a man can be seen coming out of a car’s sunroof and firing rocket into the air.
The air is filled with smoke and thunderous booms of the crackers as the man continues pointing the hand upwards and continues rapid shootings of the rockets coming from the flowers-adorned car.
Suddenly, the gun through which he is seen launching the crackers catches fire and the crackers explode in his hand. As he drops inside the car, the crackers continue to go off inside the vehicle which is quickly filled with fire and smoke.
The car’s doors swing open, and two panicked men sprint out to safety as bystanders rush to assist those still trapped inside. As they attempt to open the door further, a flurry of crackers bursts out, exploding violently on the road.
