Dreams of fire: Sunil Kumar, whose Tata Nano caught fire

The Delhi businessman's Tata Nano was one of his most prized possession till Tuesday. Parked at his Rohini residence in north Delhi, the 'people's car' suddenly caught fire.

"I was out for work when I got a call from home that my car is up in flames," Kumar told MiD DAY.

When he reached home, Kumar was told that initially smoke started coming out from below the steering wheel.

Kumar called up a Tata Nano customer care executive to report the incident. "The executive asked me to pay Rs 1500 for towing away the vehicle to the service centre," he claimed.

When Kumar refused to pay and threatened to take up his complaint with higher authorities, the executive assured to provide full concession of towing charges but the businessman asserted they must send somebody to repair it at his place only.

"I want full refund for my air-conditioned Nano car. I don't want to get my car repaired at any cost. My children are traumatised. They have refused to sit in the car. If the company refuses to refund we will drag them to the consumer court," added Kumar.

Pictures sent by Kumar to MiDDAY show charred interiors of the car.
