Instagram influencer's Lamborghini worth Rs 10 cr bursts into flames in Bengaluru | Watch

A Lamborghini Aventador, valued at nearly Rs 10 crore, caught fire on a bustling Bengaluru street on Sunday evening, sparking viral online footage and drawing a crowd of concerned citizens. The high-end sports car belongs to well-known social media influencer Sanjeev, widely recognised by his Instagram moniker, Nimma Mane Maga Sanju.

Eyewitness videos, which quickly spread across social media platforms, captured dramatic scenes as flames erupted from the rear of the Aventador, precisely where the mid-mounted engine is housed. Passers-by leapt into action, dousing the blazing vehicle with buckets of water and sand while others used fire extinguishers, all as smoke billowed from the luxury car.

This incident follows a strikingly similar episode in December last year, when a Lamborghini Revuelto of comparable value caught fire on Mumbai’s Coastal Road, again making national headlines. In the wake of recurring incidents involving Lamborghinis catching fire on Indian roads, high-profile figures such as business tycoon and automotive enthusiast Gautam Singhania have publicly expressed concerns regarding the brand’s safety.

Despite the intensity of the fire, NDTV reported that no one suffered any serious injuries. Initial speculation online claimed the supercar had been completely destroyed, but Sanjeev was quick to address these rumours. Taking to social media, the influencer clarified that his prized Lamborghini suffered only “minor damage”, countering claims that the car was gutted in the fire.
