Revenge: Labourer Sets Mercedes on Fire

A tile worker has been arrested for setting a Mercedes car on fire in Noida alleging the owner for not clearing his payment dues

In a shocking and unrealistic story, a tile worker has been arrested for setting a Mercedes car on fire outside a bungalow in Noida, Uttar Pradesh. The incident took place in  Sector 45 and was captured on CCTV installed by the house owner. The worker, identified as Ranveer by the police, was allegedly angry after the Mercedes owner failed to settle his dues of rupees 2 lakh following the installation of tiles at his house. The owner has, however, denied these claims. Ranveer has been arrested based on a complaint filed by the Mercedes owner. The video shows Ranveer standing next to a motorcycle wearing a helmet. He waits for other people present in the area to leave and then moves towards the car. The tile supplier then pours a flammable liquid on the car, which values around 1 crore and sets it on fire. According to the police, the incident took place on Sunday, 12th of September. The dispute dates back to 2019-2020 when Ranveer carried out some work inside the house in Noida. 

He claims that the dues were pending since then. 

The family, however, has denied allegations of non-payment of dues, saying that they knew Ranveer for the past 10 years. They instead accused him of being angry as he was replaced by another labourer two years ago. "We have known Ranveer for the past 10-12 years. He was like a family member. We cleared all his dues when he went home during the COVID-19 lockdown. We always make payments on the same day. His claim is laughable, that an amount of 2 lakh Rupees was pending," Ayush Chauhan, one of the family members said. "There was a wedding in our family, and Ranveer was at home during COVID-19. So, we hired some other workers and got work done during that time. This infuriated Ranveer, and he also threatened the new worker.” What do you think about this film style revenge?
