As the bike moves forward, it instantly bursts into flames and almost latches on to the rider himself, who promptly drops the bike and gets away from it.
Officials said that the bike caught fire because it was in the running state and the spray reacted with the exhaust instantly on being sprayed. The heat of the engine and the peak summer temperature outside might have also triggered the fire.

What’s more alarming is that a fire extinguisher wasn’t able to douse off the fire. A guard in the video can be seen pouring water on the bike after his attempt to dose off the same using a fire extinguisher went in vain for it must have been empty or something.
