According to Indian media reports, the man, identified as Manoj Yadav, became concerned about the safety of his vehicle after the driver who had been looking after it left. He subsequently decided to move the car to the roof while he was away from India for work.
Car lifted onto second-floor roof
A video circulating on social media shows the vehicle secured with straps and carefully lifted by a crane to the rooftop of the house.
Reports said Yadav works in Israel and had left the car with a driver while he was abroad. After the driver reportedly left, Yadav became concerned about the possibility of the vehicle being stolen.
He then opted for the unusual solution of storing the car on the second floor of his home, with the crane operation captured on video and subsequently shared widely online.
The unusual method has attracted attention on social media, where users have reacted to the extraordinary measures taken to protect the vehicle from theft.
