On the contrary, I heard that the driver was having a cigarette, and the smoke built up in his gut, causing him to inevitably release a chain of high concentration methane farts. This highly flammable gas rapidly lit and, that being in a big Mercâs cabin with plenty of oxygen, turned to big fire before he could even realize the situation.
It is reported that the driver had some âgobi wala parathasâ for breakfast. Those not only jacked up the methane level in his bowels but also caused him âseenay main jalanâ i.e. acidity â and the HCL fumes in his burps ironically played as catalyst in the flaming process.
Driver was reported peeing in his shalwar big time in sheer fright - that formed a puddle underneath the car. Later on many lame stories were conspired over that alone.
