HI!
I hav seen same problem in a suzuki van recently.Some mechanics said that 1 or more of the pistons is getting stiky.Others said that there was problem with the self starter.

Later on problem was rectified by getting the starter repaired.
Reason that car starts on petrol n not on cng while hot:

1.Petrol is more powerful fuel than cng

2.Cng heats up the engine during combustion more than petrol does being dry in nature.
I recommend to get ur veh checked by a good electrician first for starter n then by an engine mechanic for pistons if needed.
Hope it hepls u somewhat.
