Scooter Arson in Delhi: A Tale of Retaliation

Delhi Police have nabbed an 18-year-old man, identified as Sagar, and apprehended three juveniles for allegedly setting fire to five scooters in northwest Delhi's Ashok Vihar area. The arson attack was reportedly an act of retaliation against a local resident, Ashish, who had frequent altercations with Sagar.

The incident unfolded after a complaint by Ashish, leading to the registration of a First Information Report at the Ashok Vihar police station. According to authorities, Sagar, a resident of Wazirpur, confessed to pouring petrol on Ashish's scooter with the help of his juvenile associates at night.

This act of arson reportedly spread to four other parked scooters, incurring significant damage. Police investigations revealed a vendetta, as Sagar accused Ashish of public humiliation and physical threats. Previously, Sagar had been involved in two other criminal cases.
