Some of the survivors of the ill-fated bus that caught fire and led to the death of 25 passengers in Maharashtra's Buldhana district on Saturday, said they managed to come out of the burning vehicle by breaking its window.

The private sleeper coach bus, which was travelling from Nagpur to Pune, met with an accident at Pimpalkhuta village near Sindkhedraja on the Samruddhi Expressway as it rammed into a road divider around 1.30 am on Saturday. Of the 33 passengers travelling on the bus, 25 were charred to death, police said.
