A gas cylinder catches fire during a delivery in Bengaluru’s Malleshwaram area, with a viral video showing the blaze starting near a home entrance. The delivery worker runs away when flames erupt, then returns in an apparent attempt to address the situation.
Accounts across outlets describe the cylinder leaking a small amount of gas before a flame from outside the house ignites it. Times of India and Free Press Journal both report that the ignition comes from a burning oil lamp/diya left on the doorstep, while the cylinder is being unloaded and placed near the entrance. Both also note that the delivery worker escapes without injuries, and authorities urge caution when handling gas cylinders.
Coverage largely aligns on the setting (Malleshwaram, Bengaluru), the sequence (delivery/unloading, minor leak, ignition from an exterior flame), and the outcome (no serious injuries). Differences are mainly in how explicitly each outlet attributes the likely trigger and the details they foreground about the video or local response.
