An elderly man was killed on Tuesday after a bus carrying pilgrims to the Mahakumbh festival caught fire in Vrindavan. The bus, traveling from Telangana to Uttar Pradesh with around 50 people, was en route to Prayagraj for a holy dip at the Maha Kumbh.

The bus caught fire while parked at a tourist facility in Vrindavan, with only one passenger on board. Additional SP City Arvind Kumar stated that some pilgrims had gone to visit temples, while others stayed back to prepare food and raised the alarm when sparks were seen. The fire quickly engulfed the bus, and despite efforts to alert the police and fire services, the elderly man, identified as Dhrupati, was found dead inside the vehicle.
