Rajendra, who is a security man in a private company at Mulund said that the phone was bought two months ago. " I was sleeping on a bed, while my wife and three children were sleeping on a mattress on the floor. The phone was near a window. I was about to unplug it when it exploded," says Rajendra.

"Naturally, smartphone companies make sure adequate tests are done before sending a product in the market. Companies always keep in mind that there are laymen who has no knowledge of the technicalities of a phone. So, they make sure adequate precautions are taken to avoid explosions, short-circuits or any untoward incidents. Phone blasts could occur due to various reasons and need not to be only due to overcharging. In fact, smartphones cut off current supply on its own once batteries are charged," said Nitin Patel, a tech expert from Thane.

Patel went further to explain that " some of the reasons for a cellphone explosion could be that a battery capsule is punctured, the processor is not functioning properly and unable to cool down, etc. Also, if there is any manufacturing fault in a phone, then all phones in that particular batch will face the same problem. No company makes a single phone at a time."
