A fire broke out on a Jupiter Scooty near Harmu Bypass Road in Ranchi, completely destroying the vehicle. The incident occurred when a woman riding towards Ratu Road Chowk noticed smoke coming from her scooty. She was alerted by passersby who signaled her to stop. The woman immediately stopped the scooty by the roadside, but flames erupted shortly after, engulfing the vehicle in fire.

The witnesses' timely action allowed the rider to safely park the vehicle before the flames intensified. Despite the quick response, the scooty was completely gutted by the blaze, leaving behind only charred remains.

Authorities are also exploring other potential causes, including electrical issues or fuel leakage.
