Four office-goers killed as vehicle carrying them catches fire near Pune

Pune, March 19: Four employees of a private firm were killed after their company vehicle carrying a group of staffers caught fire near Pune on Wednesday morning, police said.

The incident occurred at Hinjewadi in the Pimpri Chinchwad area, an official said.
