An Ola Electric scooter customer allegedly set fire to a company showroom in Karnataka's Kalaburagi after issues with his new electric scooter were reportedly not addressed. A video of the burning showroom has since gone viral on social media, sparking a debate on the extreme step taken as well as on past accusations against Ola Electric's apparently shoddy service quality.
