According to the report, many mechanics say that Ola service centers receive a lot of customer complaints and they have problems dealing with them. A man named Mohammad Nadeem bought a two-wheeler from Ola last month. This man is a mechanic by profession. Within a few days, the scooter started having problems. He brought the scooter back to the showroom for service but was not satisfied.
According to the police, the man visited the showroom several times with the scooter but did not get satisfactory services. On the day of the incident, the unhappy man had also brought petrol with him, and he set fire to 6 two-wheelers in the showroom. However, no one is reported to be injured in the incident. Reuters could not confirm what exactly was the problem with the vehicle. Police estimate that the showroom has suffered a loss of about Rs 8,50,000. According to the Ola website, Ola has 431 service centers across India.
