Several cars and vans that come for service to a workshop situated near harbour police station are usually parked under the Royapuram bridge.

When the patrol team attached to the north Beach police station was doing its routine rounds, it found several cars parked under the Royapuram bridge engulfed in flames.

While three cars were completely gutted, two cars and a van were partially burnt. Some of the cars were left at the workshop for repair work.
