Parked car set ablaze in Varanasi over refused noodle order
In a city called Varanasi, someone got very angry at a café because they would not serve noodles late at night.
The café was closed for noodles at that hour, so the owner said no.
Some people started shouting and arguing with the owner.
Other people nearby helped calm things down, so everyone went home.
But a few hours later, a man came back with a friend.
He wore a mask so people could not see his face clearly.
The man set the owner's parked car on fire and then rode away on a bike.
A camera nearby recorded what happened, and the video was shared online for many people to see.
The police are looking into who did this and have named a few people in their report.
So far, nobody has been arrested.
Setting someone's car on fire is against the law and very wrong.

CCTV footage showed a masked man setting the car on fire before fleeing on a bike driven by another person.

The accused reportedly returned around 3 am the next day and set the owner's parked car on fire.
