In a tragedy of sorts, almost 25-30 fishing boats parked in the popular Visakhapatnam Fishing Harbour were reduced to ashes as fire erupted on a boat. With most of these boats mechanised and equipped with fuel tanks and LPG tanks, some boats burst high, causing property damage worth ₹15-20 crores though no loss of life was reported. But here comes the twist.
According to electronic media reports, being telecast on Andhra Pradesh’s popular news channels, popular YouTuber Nani, who runs the channel “Local Boi Nani” is said to have partied on a boat along with his group of friends. During the party, after they are fully drunk, a fight is said to have erupted, leading to some folks torching the boat.
As per the news reports earlier, the YouTuber and his gang of friends are said to be absconding from the scene and police are yet to arrest them. However, by afternoon, the YouTuber was taken into custody by the Vizag task force police.
It is coming out that ‘Local Boi Nani’ who owns two fishing boats is said to have sold one of his boats to a person named Balaji, and took money for him. However, after the YouTuber failed to deliver the boat as promised, Balaji demanded him to pay back his money last night, and that turned into a fiery battle, leading to the torching of boats.
