A passenger bus in Greater Noida catches fire, killing nine people, according to reports from multiple outlets. The incident involves a sleeper bus with passengers inside when the fire breaks out and spreads rapidly.
Police accounts indicate the fire starts after a spark in the bus’s air-conditioning (AC) system. One report adds that engine oil catches fire, contributing to the rapid spread of flames. The Economic Times and Scroll.in both report a total death toll of nine.
While both sources describe the same overall incident and casualty count, they emphasize slightly different triggering details. The framing differs between a general “bus catches fire” description and a more specific sequence in which the AC system sparks first and the engine oil ignites, intensifying the blaze. Both reports attribute the rapid escalation of the fire to factors inside the vehicle.
