India

Four people, including three Kanwar Yatra pilgrims, lost their lives and three others were injured in separate accidents on the busy Delhi-Haridwar highway near Muzaffarnagar.
The crashes happened during heavy pilgrimage traffic as devotees traveled to collect holy Ganges water.

Two young men from Ghaziabad, Raj (18) and Vipin (20), died when their motorcycle collided with a scooter; three others were seriously hurt.
In another incident, Rohit (23) from Delhi was run over by a truck, while Mahesh Kumar (38), who wasn't part of the pilgrimage, was fatally struck while sleeping under a tractor-trolley parked for pilgrims.
