Maruti Omni Discontinued, What’ll Kidnappers in B’Wood Use Now?

Maruti Omni MVP discontinued from the markets because it doesn’t fulfill safety requirements.

Goodbyes are difficult but inevitable. You’re probably still recovering from the fact that CID is off air. But another dear memory for all the 90s kids will soon not be around anymore. It’s Maruti Omni!

Maruti Suzuki India’s chairperson told NDTV’s Car and Bike that Maruti Omni MVP has been discontinued because it didn’t meet the safety requirements needed in the future. But the car is etched in the memories of some who grew up in the 90s as the ‘classic kidnapping essential’.

Here’s how Twitter’s responding to the decision by the car company.

Kuch Toh Gadbad Hai Daya!

Another Victim.

Nothing evokes panic quite like a Maruti Omni van's door suddenly sliding open near you.
