Panic struck Kukatpally on Monday afternoon, April 7, when a two-wheeler burst into flames near the Kukatpally Y Junction. The reason for the fire is being attributed to the scorching heat engulfing the city.

The fire broke out without warning, possibly triggered by the extreme temperatures Hyderabad has been experiencing over the past few days.

Locals acted swiftly, rushing to the location with buckets of water and what looked like cement bags from shops, containing and putting out the flames before they could spread more or result in any injuries. The vehicle was, however, almost fully destroyed.
