HEY DEAR ...
It is due to anomalous expansion or strange behavior of water.
The expansion of water takes place as it is cooled from 4 degrees Celsius to zero degree Celsius. This behavior is unusual because most substances contract when they are cooled. But water expand on solidifying. Due to this expansion a glass bottle completely filled with water and tightly closed at room temperature is likely to burst when it is kept in fridge.

1. The temperature of air in the freezer (deepfreeze) compartment of a refrigerator is less than 0°C.
2. When a plastic bottle, completely filled with water, is kept in this compartment, the temperature of water falls below 4°C and the water expands.
3. Even when water freezes and ice is formed, there I an increase in the volume.
4. It exerts a large pressure on the sides of the bottle.
Hence, the bottle is likely to burst.
Hope it helps!
