The deceased have been identified as Rahul Yadav, Harendra Yadav and Mahendra Dokaniya, police officials said.

Meanwhile, at least four persons were killed and forty other passengers were seriously injured when a luxury bus, returning Domjur in West Bengal's Howrah district from Puri in Odisha, crashed into a truck, parked beside road, on NH-6 (Kolkata-Mumbai highway) at Kulgachia in Howrah district on the wee hours of Saturday.
