In an act of cold-blooded murder, a bus driver today ordered tourists to de-board and then ran the vehicle over them in Rajasthan, killing six people, police said. The IANS report says the horrific act took place near a petrol station in Karauli district, 180 km from Jaipur.

Four of the dozen injured people were in critical condition. The driver, identified as Raju, reportedly got into a scuffle with the tourists after they refused to pay for the fuel.
