Earlier yesterday, a bus packed with passengers collided with a truck near here. One of them, Rewaram Jatav (58), was killed on the spot, while 36 others were injured.
Police said three of the injured died during treatment at a hospital here late last night. The deceased were identified as Anil Jatav (30), Kallu Ahirwar (62) and Kashiram Jatav (40).
The bus occupants were returning to Deori town from Sagar after attending a programme of Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
