The CCTV footage released by local police shows two individuals riding bicycles, fully covered in helmets and work clothes, appearing in the middle of the night. One waited in front of the bicycle, while the other broke the glass door and entered the hair salon. The arsonist began moving around the salon, spraying flammable substances. What happened next was absurd. The moment he lit a lighter, the fire caught on his body.

Panic-stricken, he rushed out of the building and rolled on the ground to extinguish the flames on his body. With the help of an accomplice, the arsonist barely managed to put out the fire and then calmly rode away on his bicycle. The fire was later extinguished, but the building reportedly suffered significant damage. The suspect has not been caught yet. Local police authorities have requested, "If anyone knows of a person with burns during this period or witnessed the incident, please come forward."
