Newly Weds Among 4 Burnt Alive As Car Goes Up In Flames In Madhya Pradesh

Four of a family, including a recently married couple, were burnt alive in Madhya Pradesh after their car crashed into a tree on Wednesday, police said. Videos show the totaled car engulfed in flames, smashed into a tree by the road.

Police said they were informed of the crash early this morning. When they reached the spot with the fire brigade, the car had already been badly burnt.

"Three men and one woman were burnt alive after the car sped into a tree in Harda district. They were returning from a wedding," a police official said. He added that a couple killed in the tragedy had been married six months ago.

Police added that further investigation is underway.

Last week, four people were killed and 15 others injured when a sleeper bus collided with a trolley in Madhya Pradesh's Shajapur. The bus, en route to Ahmedabad, was carrying passengers when the deadly collision took place
