Shahnawaz, his three-year-old daughter and wife had been asleep in the bedroom while his son, Shabbir, was in the living room with his grandmother Rukhsana, 58.

Shahnawaz, who works as a driver for a transport company, bought the electric vehicle in August 2021. &ldquo;It was not like I used to charge the battery every day, which could cause overheating. In fact, I used to charge it every two to three days. But it has cost me the life of my son and damaged my home. Who is responsible for this,&rdquo; he asked.
