BREAKING: CNG Refuelling Turns Dangerous in Gujarat’s Karjan as Car Explodes, Two Hurt
Police are examining the vehicle and CNG system after the blast, which damaged two nearby vehicles and prompted a forensic probe.
- On Thursday, a car exploded during CNG refueling at a station on National Highway-48 near Karjan in Vadodara district, Gujarat, showering the area with debris and damaging two nearby vehicles, though no injuries were reported.
- CNG is typically filled at high pressure of 200-220 bar, creating mechanical stress 20-40 times greater than LPG cylinders; unrectified damage, corrosion, or unauthorized CNG kits can trigger system failure during refueling.
- The driver avoided injury by stepping out of the vehicle before the blast, a safety requirement enforced by regulatory authorities; CCTV footage captured the moment the car's rear section was destroyed.
- Vadodara Superintendent of Police Sushilkumar Agrawal confirmed police are registering a Janva Jog to investigate the cause, examining the vehicle and equipment to determine if maintenance lapses or unauthorized components triggered the blast.
- Investigators have called in the Forensic Science Laboratory to submit a report on the blast, with Agrawal indicating authorities may issue a public safety advisory regarding CNG vehicle maintenance depending on investigation findings.
