Battery scooter explodes while charging, house gutted in UP

Lucknow: A house in Uttar Pradesh's Chowk was completely gutted after a battery scooter exploded while being charged, police officials said on Thursday.

Goods worth lakhs were also gutted in fire along with the scooter while the family of four managed a miraculous escape.

“The incident happened in the house of Mohammad Naseem, a resident of Jal Nigam Road under Thakurganj police station,” said Pushpendra Kumar Yadav, fire station officer of Chowk.

Mohammad Naseem said that the scooter which exploded was Chinese and he had bought it for Rs 65,000 one and a half years ago.

“I am not sure if a blast took place or if it got burnt though we did hear a huge sound. I put the scooter on charge on the ground floor of my house. But a few hours later when I came down the stairs, I saw smoke and fire. So, I immediately took help from neighbours and informed the fire department,” he said.

“I have always used a battery scooter. It has been 15 years since I switched to battery scooters. Earlier, scooters were of Indian brands. But this time I bought this Chinese scooty which had a battery warranty of only one year,” he added.

According to him, overheating of the scooter’s charger could have led to the fire.

“The charging cable of these battery scooters often gets overheated. It must have been the same this time,” he said.
