Jaipur, April 9, 2026 — A terrifying incident of an LPG cylinder explosion at a local tea stall created massive panic in Jaipur, with the heart-stopping moment of the blast being caught on camera. Fortunately, a major tragedy was averted, and no casualties were reported.
The Midnight Blast
The severe explosion occurred in the Dhawas area, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Karni Vihar police station. According to reports, a fire broke out inside the closed tea stall late at night.
A horrifying video of the incident has since surfaced online and is going viral. The footage shows fierce flames engulfing the shop, followed suddenly by a massive, deafening explosion that completely blows the LPG cylinder to pieces, sending shockwaves through the immediate vicinity.
A Miraculous Escape
Despite the sheer intensity of the blast, local authorities and residents breathed a massive sigh of relief as no loss of life or injuries occurred.
Police confirmed that because the incident took place late at night, the surrounding area was mostly deserted. The owner of the tea stall had already closed the shop for the day and returned home, inadvertently preventing what could have been a fatal disaster in a typically crowded neighborhood space.
Investigation Underway
While the exact cause of the initial fire has not yet been officially confirmed, preliminary police investigations suggest that a short circuit inside the shop may have sparked the blaze, which eventually reached the gas cylinder.
The Karni Vihar police have registered the incident and are currently conducting a thorough investigation to determine the exact sequence of events that led to the dangerous explosion.
