People heard the sound of an explosion in the car and immediately saw smoke coming out of it. The fire was so severe that they couldn't take Deepak out of the vehicle and he fainted in the car itself.
The victim is a yarn trader and lives in the Abhava Village in Surat.
The fire engines found it difficult to douse the flames and the car was completely burnt.
The police said the preliminary findings suggest that a short circuit or technical fault may have caused the fire. The forensic team is probing various angles to find out how the fire broke out.
