A moving air-conditioned luxury bus carrying 40 passengers caught fire on NH-33 near Ramgarh town in the district following a short circuit today.

All the passengers alighted from the bus with help from local people before the fire spread. A fire tender doused the blaze but the bus was badly burnt, police said.

An alternative arrangement was made to send the passengers to their destination. The bus, owned by a private company and was plying with approval from the Bihar tourism department, was on its way from Patna to Ranchi.
