District Commissioner Naman Priyesh Lakra said a preliminary investigation revealed that the bus, carrying devotees from Bihar and other states, collided with a truck loaded with gas cylinders before careening out of control.

Lakra said, "Preliminary investigation suggests that the driver was local, and all the devotees were from Bihar and other states. It appears that the bus initially collided with a truck loaded with cylinders because the driver dozed off and fell out. The bus continued moving without a driver for 200 feet and then crashed further ahead. A total of 6 people have died and 24 others are injured, of whom 8 are being treated at AIIMS, with 3 in critical condition."
