9 passengers died after a sleeper bus caught fire on the Yamuna Expressway in Greater Noida. According to an FIR, passengers noticed a burning smell and asked the driver to stop. The driver and conductor allegedly refused and said, “If you want to die, then die; we won’t stop the bus.” The complaint also alleged that both men were smoking bidis and cigarettes inside the driver’s cabin. Flames later spread quickly, filling the bus with smoke. The bus was carrying 35 passengers. The driver and conductor fled after the bus stopped. Police have launched a probe and are searching for them.
