An initial investigation suggested the bus driver lost control over the wheels in a bid to avoid hitting a motorbike which came in its way suddenly, Mada police station inspector Kapoor Tripathi said.
The bus, carrying members of the groom’s side along with the bride, hit the tree on a roadside at Dhari village, about 60 km from the district headquarters, he said.
They were returning home after the marriage when the accident took place.
Three men – identified as Manik Kes Biyar (45), Umar Kes Bind (35) and Bhai Lal Biyar (50) – sitting on the front row seats died on the spot, the official said.
The injured persons were admitted to the district hospital, he said.
