Indore (Madhya Pradesh): 'Sow what you reap...' came true when a group of miscreants who poured petrol on a house and set it ablaze in Ujjain, themselves caught flames while fleeing.
The incident was captured on CCTV and the video is circulating widely on social media on Tuesday.
The CCTV footage shows around four to five miscreants arriving near the house. Some of them can be seen standing outside the building while others wait on two-wheelers nearby.
In the video, one of the attackers is seen pouring petrol from a bottle on the house, while another lights the fuel. Within seconds, flames erupt and the fire spreads quickly.
