  "account": "An extraordinary video has gone viral, showing a Mahindra Scorpio Classic SUV being lifted by a crane and placed on the roof of a two-storey house in Gopalganj, Bihar, India. The bizarre parking arrangement was reported by Indian media, with the vehicle belonging to Manoj Yadav, who works in Israel and had recently purchased the car. With Yadav overseas and no one available to drive the vehicle, his family decided to place the SUV on the roof as the safest parking spot. The video, which showed the white SUV suspended high above the ground before being lowered onto the rooftop, quickly caught the attention of the chairman of the company that manufactured the vehicle, Anand Mahindra. Mahindra described the parking arrangement as taking it \"to the next level\" but also expressed concern about whether the roof was designed to support the SUV's weight. He urged others not to attempt the same thing, warning that it could be dangerous. The viral video sparked questions about the safety and feasibility of such parking methods, leaving unanswered the practical issue of how Yadav would retrieve his Scorpio when he returned.",
