Evees Company administrator Harish said, “Around 7 pm, the owner of the place called us. That’s when we came to know that a fire had broken out. We had taken this place on rent to park electric vehicles. We park them here daily after completion of work. We also bring vehicles that have come for service here. This has never happened before. It seems someone did this deliberately. Around 400 vehicles have been gutted in the fire”.
