The Story in Brief
Two unidentified men allegedly set a Hyundai Verna on fire outside a house in Bhai Himmat Singh Nagar, Dugri, Ludhiana, late Thursday night. They smashed the window, threw an inflammable substance inside, and locked the main gate from outside, trapping the family, police said.
Car owner Manpreet Singh said the family woke up to an explosion but found the gate locked as the car burned. CCTV shows the suspects arriving on a scooter, locking the gate, and fleeing. Police are scanning footage and have asked for a written complaint to register an FIR.
The Indian Opinion
The attack in Dugri is chilling, but the narrative that Ludhiana is becoming a crime capital ignores that such targeted arson is rare and appears personal. Until the suspects are caught and their motive revealed, speculation about gang wars or police failure is premature. The question is: will the CCTV evidence lead to arrests within a week?
