The 19 occupants of the bus were returning to their homes in south Delhi after attending a wedding in west Delhi’s Mayapuri on Monday. The injured include two women and a man, all relatives of the groom who lives with his family in Lajpat Nagar.

Deputy commissioner of police (southwest) Surender Kumar said the injured were rushed to Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital and are out of danger. The officer said they are still ascertaining the exact sequence of events that resulted in the collision.
