Lucknow, Oct 20(IANS) A newly purchased Tata Nano car that was parked in a parking lot in the posh Hazratganj locality of Lucknow caught fire Tuesday evening, its owner said.
Nobody was hurt in the incident, said R.H. Rizvi, who bought the car in July from a Lucknow based dealer.

“I parked my car in the parking lot of a shopping complex and went to buy some gifts. I was shocked when the parking attendant came rushing to me within 10 minutes saying that the car is on fire”, Rizvi told IANS.

In a similar incident, another Tata Nano, belled as the world’s least expensive car, caught fire in Ahmedabad early Tuesday.

Technical experts blame the position of the battery for such incidents.

“The car battery is placed under the driver’s seat and this is the most potential reason for these fire incidents,” an engineer with Tata Motors in Lucknow said.
