Kishore set nine buses on fire, police caught

Ranchi (IANS). Police has disclosed the case of setting fire to nine buses parked at Kantatoli-Khadgarha bus stand in Ranchi. The fire was not self-inflicted, but was deliberately set. A fifteen-year-old teenager was used for this.

The police have arrested him. Police have recovered a spray and lighter from the minor. He had set nine buses on fire with the same lighter and spray. Kishore told that he first sprayed spirit near the tank of the buses and then set it on fire with a lighter.

Ranchi SSP Kaushal Kishore told that the minor had set the buses on fire. A spray bottle was found with him, which was filled with spirit. Through this, the buses were set on fire. The minor is a resident of Namkum. Earlier he worked as a porter at Khadgarha bus stand but was fired from the job.

Significantly, on Thursday, the Khadgarha bus stand caught fire twice in a span of five hours. Eight buses were burnt to ashes in this. Whereas, a bus was saved from burning by the fire department. It is not clear why Kishore set the buses on fire. The police believe that there could be many people behind this conspiracy. The entire conspiracy may soon be revealed in his interrogation.
