Overview
- A head‑on collision between a tempo‑traveller and a container truck in the Kaziranga area killed 24 people and injured about 20, and police have opened inquiries into possible overspeeding and overloading while the state administration has said it will investigate regulatory lapses.
- A moving inter‑state bus caught fire on the Yamuna Expressway and the driver evacuated all 40 passengers with no casualties; officials say a short circuit is the suspected cause and fire and police teams extinguished the blaze.
- A mini‑bus struck a truck on the Agra‑Lucknow Expressway, leaving two passengers dead and about a dozen injured, and local police and highway teams carried out rescue and medical transfers for the wounded.
- Delhi police are probing the deaths of two people found unconscious in a car after packets of the pesticide Selfos were recovered, and investigators are examining whether those deaths connect to an earlier fatality in the same family.
- Separate local disputes and legal developments — an elderly Motihari farmer’s complaint about alleged cruelty to his buffalo, hearings over a 1993 gift deed for Amitabh Bachchan’s Jalsa home, large wedding plans in Bihar, and a Bengaluru food‑startup’s growth figures — underscore how these incidents sit alongside ongoing civic, family and regulatory strains.
