Electric scooter bursts causing death of seven-year-old

In the Vasai (East) suburb of Mumbai, a seven-year-old boy has died after sustaining over 70 per cent burns when an electric scooter’s battery exploded at his home.

 

The explosion took place between 4.30am and 5am on September 23 in the Ram Das Nagar area when Shabbir Ansari and his grandmother were sleeping in a hall at their home. His father had plugged in the battery for charging before going to sleep in the bedroom. The boy’s parents were woken up by the loud sound of the explosion. While his grandmother suffered minor injuries, Ansari sustained over 70 per cent burns and was rushed to a hospital, where he succumbed on Friday night.

 

Police suspect the battery may have burst because of overheating. But Ansari’s family members blamed the scooter manufacturer for the “faulty” battery. While police said it was not clear since when the battery had been charging, the boy’s family said that it was plugged in around 2.30am.
