A second fatality has occurred in the e-scooter fire incident that took place in Vindhyavasini Colony, Ratlam, Madhya Pradesh, on August 19. Bindu Kunwar, a 36-year-old Anganwadi worker, passed away while receiving treatment at an Indore hospital. Her 16-year-old daughter, Antim, had already succumbed to her injuries 13 days after the incident, while their elder daughter, Vijay Laxmi, 20, is reported to be safe.
In response to the tragic loss of two lives, family members belonging to Rajput Samaj and Karni Sena staged a protest outside the Varivo e-scooter showroom in Manak Chowk, demanding a high-level forensic investigation, legal action, and a ban on the sale of the model. The e-scooter operator eventually provided Rs 10 lakh in compensation, consisting of a cheque for Rs 8 lakh and Rs 2 lakh in cash, before allowing the family to proceed with the cremation.
