Most of them are men and women; there is only one or two children. Eight patients have been referred to the district hospital due to their serious condition. The rest are currently undergoing treatment here."

One of the injured passengers, Rajveer, said the bus swerved in an attempt to avoid a motorcycle before colliding with the truck.

"A truck was coming from the Bari side, and a bus was coming from Dholpur. There was a motorcycle next to it with a woman and a man. To save them, the bus swerved right in front of the truck. There was a head-on collision; the windshield broke. I was right at the front, so I know. Then I escaped through the windshield. I don't know (what happened next). The entire bus was full," he said.

Police said that further investigation is underway. (ANI)
