A preliminary investigation indicates that the 70-year-old truck driver, who was reportedly unwell and taking medication for fever and cold, lost control of the vehicle while attempting to overtake another vehicle, causing it to veer into the pilgrims. The driver has been detained, and an investigation is underway to ascertain the exact cause of the accident.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis expressed grief over the loss of lives and announced an ex gratia of ₹5 lakh each for the families of the deceased.
