CCTV footage from a nearby shop captured the tragic incident showing the e-rickshaw going up in flames amid loud explosions with scared people running for cover.
The explosion was triggered after a cracker that was set off during the yatra fell on the e-rickshaw carrying crackers for the procession’s fireworks.
