Highly suspicious. A van can't suddenly be fully burn that quickly. And why weren't the passengers able to get escape. Most probably a mass murder. Another candidate to show hidden weapons may be....

If this was done willfully then it's lawlessness achieving new heights! Someone please remind me of how many years of culture and civilization do we continually boast of.

Some of these vehicles are not suitable to be on the roads for all the safety reasons but authority is deaf and blind !

This is very funny, if something happens due to personal negligence everyone blames on the government. I guess those who get constipated will start blaming the government in near future or make a protest near Lipton roundabout.

Sorry...guess some of us were all wrong about in thinking it was arson or murder. Seems driver kept a petrol can in the van because of some fuel block issue. Amazing how stupid still are in these modern times.
