Indian police told AFP there were about 30 to 35 people in the vehicle. The injured, including the bus driver, have been taken to a nearby hospital.
According to reports, the accident occurred in the Burdana district of Maharashtra, India. The bus overturned after hitting a pole, causing the fuel tank to catch fire.
