A video circulating online shows municipal/civic personnel using a fire brigade vehicle to wash BJP MLA Ramniwas Shah’s private Innova car in Singrauli, Madhya Pradesh. The footage shows people spraying water from a hose connected to the fire tender on the vehicle outside the MLA’s official residence.
The incident is reported to have surfaced on Tuesday and quickly drew public attention on social media. The outlets describe it as raising questions about whether emergency or civic resources are being used for non-emergency purposes. Free Press Journal and NDTV both attribute the washing to Municipal Corporation personnel using water from a fire brigade vehicle. Times of India similarly describes fire brigade personnel washing the car and notes that neither Shah nor the department has issued an official statement.
Free Press Journal also reports that attempts to reach the Municipal Commissioner were made, but she declined to comment, while the MLA could not be reached. Across the reports, the key point remains that no official clarification has been provided despite the video’s viral spread, leaving the incident’s intent and responsibility subject to further confirmation.
