Shikhar Jayeshbhai Gohel was arrested in Morbi, Gujarat, after allegedly setting his neighbour's car on fire due to irritation over its parking sensor repeatedly triggering the horn. CCTV footage from outside advocate Mahidhar Dave's residence showed Gohel pouring an inflammable liquid on the Swift car owned by advocate Pushpa Bhatt, setting it ablaze, and recording the fire before leaving in another vehicle. The incident occurred on October 28 at around 4:44 pm on Vaghpara Street No. 17, causing an estimated damage of Rs 3.5 lakh.
Police from Morbi City 'A' Division registered a case against Gohel under Sections 326(f) and 324(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita following a complaint by Bhatt. The accused and the complainant were neighbours with an ongoing dispute over parking. The fire was reported at around 5 pm after Dave informed Bhatt, and firefighters brought the blaze under control. The footage that revealed the act was reviewed by Dave and later went viral.
