According to reports, the incident took place in Howrah district of the Indian state of Karnataka, where on January 9, 33-year-old Wasim Hazrat set fire to a bank after his loan application was rejected.
Foreign media reported that Wasim had applied for a loan of Rs 1.6 million in a government bank in December last year, but the bank rejected his application due to non-compliance with paperwork and bank policy.

According to reports, in case of fire, firefighters immediately reached the bank and extinguished the fire.
