Man nabbed for setting fast food vends on fire

The Ludhiana police have arrested a person for allegedly setting three fast food vends on fire due to personal enmity. The suspect has been identified as Sarabjit Singh, alias Lavi, a resident of Mohalla Dharampura. The police also recovered a petrol bottle and a car from his possession.

While addressing a press conference, Additional DCP Prabhjot Singh Virk said four days ago, a person under the influence of alcohol set three fast food vends on fire in Sector 33, falling under the jurisdiction of the Division No. 7 police station, due to personal enmity. A case was registered against the suspects. The police arrested the suspect today and started further investigations.

Notably, a scuffle broke out between two fast food vendors on the night of October 14. After getting information, the police reached the post and pacified them. Sarabjit returned to the spot late at night in an inebriated condition and set three vends on fire.

Two LPG cylinders kept in the vends also exploded, following which fire took a terrible form. The fast food vends, along with goods, were reduced to ashes. Fortunately, there was no loss of life in the incident.
