The devotees were travelling from Maharashtra’s Kesar village of Dombivli to Pandharpur in a private bus, on the occasion of Asadhi Ekadashi, when the accident occurred.

Five people were killed and 49 injured after a bus carrying devotees collided with a tractor, and fell into a ditch near the Mumbai-Pune Expressway at around 1 AM on Tuesday.

The bus was taking devotees from Maharashtra’s Kesar village of Dombivli to Pandharpur when the accident occurred, according to ANI.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Vivek Pansare said that the bus passengers were travelling to Pandharpur in a private vehicle on the occasion of Asadhi Ekadashi. He added that 42 people were taken to the nearby MGM Hospital after the collision, while three were taken to a government hospital.
