Khargone:

Four persons, including three women and a toddler, were killed and 21 others injured when the private bus they were travelling in veered off the road and overturned in Madhya Pradesh’s Khargone district on Saturday, police said.

The Khargone-Alirajpur bus was speeding when the driver lost his control of the wheel at Jiratpura crossing near Segaon in the afternoon, about 42 km from the district headquarters, killing four persons on the spot, a police officer said.

Eight of the 21 injured passengers were rushed to the district hospital while others were admitted to nearby health centres, Superintendent of Police Dharmaraj Meena told PTI.

A JCB machine was mobilised to restore the bus, which fell on its side, to the original position, he said.

The driver of the bus fled the spot after the incident, he said, adding that the conductor has been detained by police.

Chhatarpur:

Police are on the lookout for a 40-year-old man for allegedly raping his daughter for over four years in Madhya Pradesh’s Chhatarpur district, an official said on Thursday.

“We have launched a hunt to arrest the accused who fled after his wife along with their 21-year-old daughter lodged a complaint with Lavkush Nagar police station this morning, Superintendent of Police Agam Jain told PTI.
