A 45-year-old bus driver was charred to death early Tuesday after he allegedly forgot to turn off the gas burner he was using to cook inside the bus, police said.
The police identified the deceased as Ram Naresh, a resident of Uttar Pradesh’s Mainpuri district. The incident occurred at Transport Nagar in Sector 69.
