A bus carrying 15 BMP personnel, heading from Raipur to Naxal-affected Kondagaon, overturned on National Highway 30 under Kurud police station limits, a local official said.

The driver lost control of the vehicle due to a mechanical glitch and it overturned, injuring seven who were shifted to a nearby hospital.

Of these, six were discharged after preliminary treatment while one trooper who was injured in the head was shifted to Raipur, he added.
