The victims were Rakesh and Shivani Kushwaha, who were married six months ago, and their relatives Akhilesh Kushwaha and Adarsh Kushwaha. They were residents of Warkala Charkheda village, around 155km from Bhopal, and were returning home from a wedding when the accident took place.
They were less than 10 minutes from home when the hatchback crashed into a tree at 6.30am. The fire engulfed the car so quickly that none of them could get out, Timarni police station in charge Sushil Patel said.
“It was a deserted spot. By the time people could arrive, all four of them had burned to death,” he said. The victims were in their 20s. TNN
