At least nine people, including five women, died and more than 80 were injured when a bus carrying wedding guests overturned in Jharkhand's Latehar district on Sunday. The bus was traveling from Balrampur district in Chhattisgarh to Mahuadanr in Latehar for a wedding. The accident took place at Orsa Bangladara valley, under Mahuadanr police limits. "A bus carrying a marriage party was coming from Balrampur district in Chhattisgarh for a wedding at Mahuadanr in Latehar. The bus overturned, and five people died on the spot. Among them, four were women. The injured were taken to a hospital," said Superintendent of Police Kumar Gaurav. Two more people died during treatment at Latehar hospital, and another two died at Gumla Sadar hospital. Gumla civil surgeon Shambhu Nath Choudhary added that nine injured were sent to the Sadar hospital, of which two were brought dead. Chief Minister Hemant Soren asked the Latehar Deputy Commissioner to ensure proper medical care for the injured. Sub-Divisional Magistrate Vipin Kumar Dubey said 60 injured were admitted to Mahuadanr community health centre, and more than 20 were treated at a private hospital. "Thirty-two people, who are serious, are being referred to RIMS Ranchi for better treatment," he said. The dead were identified as Reshanti Devi (35), Prema Devi (37), Sita Devi (45), Sonamati Devi (55), Sukhna Bhuiyan (40) and Vijay Bhuiyan. Identification of one woman who died at Latehar hospital is ongoing, said Dubey. The bus driver, Vikas Pathak, said around 90 passengers were on board. "The brakes of the bus failed. Despite attempts to stop the vehicle using the handbrake and switching off the engine, I could not regain control, and the bus eventually overturned," he told reporters.
