A Lamborghini sports car worth Rs 1 crore was set ablaze in Hyderabad over a financial dispute. According to a PTI report, a person who deals in sale and purchase of old cars allegedly burnt the luxury sports car with the help of a few accomplices, claiming that the owner of the car owed him money.
The chain of events leading up to the case of arson began when the owner of the Lamborghini decided to sell off the vehicle. The owner requested his friends to look for buyers for the Lamborghini, a 2009 model that he had bought for Rs 1 crore.
The main accused in the case has been identified as Ahmed, according to Times of India. Ahmed apparently called a friend of the Lamborghini’s owner and asked them to bring the car to a certain location.
