At least eleven people were killed and 38 injured after a bus caught fire in Maharashtra’s Nashik on Saturday morning.
The bus caught fire after hitting a trailer truck transporting diesel on the Nashik-Aurangabad highway.

“Most of those killed were passengers of the bus – a sleeper coach. The injured have been shifted to the hospital for treatment,” said Amol Tambe, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Nashik.

He said a case had been registered, and an investigation was on to ascertain the exact cause of the fire.

Videos showed a massive fire engulfing the bus as the fire officials tried to douse the flames.

Eyewitnesses said the accident occurred around 5.15 am, after which they called the police and ambulance.

They said the fire was so intense that they could not do anything to save the passengers.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced financial assistance of ₹ 2 lakh each for families who have lost a member in an accident. The injured would be given ₹ 50,000.

Chief Minister Eknath Shinde also announced a compensation of ₹ 5 lakh each to the family of those who died in the accident.

The Maharashtra government will bear the medical expenses of the wounded, said state minister Dada Base.

The death count in the accident may go up as the condition of some of the injured persons is serious, officials said.
