The incident brought traffic to a standstill in the area and other parts of the city. About 60 cars were burnt to ashes. The state government, meanwhile, has commiserated with families of the victims.

FAMILIES OF VICTIMS
We lift our most heartfelt prayers, O God,
for those who on this morning are still waiting for word of their loved ones,
and for those who have already heard the worst.
We pray for those who are healing from injuries to body or mind.
We pray for those still unaccounted for.
We pray for moms and dads who went to work unsuspecting,
and for their children who expected them to come home and take care of them.
We pray for all families whose histories have been forever altered
as the effects of the attack pass on from generation to generation.
We pray for those who have never been in battle
but who have witnessed war's ravages;
even the survivors, Lord, have become victims.
And although it is but by your grace that we come here to pray,
we, too, mourn our own innocence lost, O Lord.
You do not delight in wickedness, O God;
so enfold us with your compassion, uphold us with your love,
and keep us, and all who suffer, in your sight.
Grace us, O God; heal and embrace us,
and lead us from this darkness into your everlasting light.
Amen.

If 9 people were feared dead out of 60 cars, that means some bodies were burnt to ashes while few escape death. May their souls rest in peace
