However, no casualties or injury to any human lives were reported in the incident.

At least six Isuzu cars and eight Benelli motorcycles were gutted in the fire.

Several fire tenders were pressed into service to douse the inferno.

The fire is believed to have broken out due to short circuit at around 6 in the morning on Wednesday.

Due to the fire a cylinder also exploded and many litres of petrol and diesel, which were stored at the backside of the showrooms also caught fire.

The cars and motorcycles which were kept at the godown of the showrooms were, however, recovered safely.
