Kathamandu, June 2 (IBNS): At least 16 Indian pilgrims were killed and 59 others were injured as the bus in which they were traveling fell into a river in Nepal's Pyuthan district on Monday, media reports said.

" As many as 16 Indian pilgrims were killed and 59 injured when a bus en route to Kapilvastu’s Krishnanagar from Swargadwari, a holy shrine in Pyuthan, met with an accident at Gothibang VDC, Fursedanda, in Pyuthan, this evening," The Himalayan Times reported.
