Three people were killed at a mela in Sikkim's Ranipool - 11 km from Gangtok - as a truck lost control and plowed through the crowd. The incident happened a little after 7 pm this evening when hundreds had gathered at the mela ground.
The milk truck coming from uphill Gangtok went straight into the crowd at the mela being held at a truck terminal for over a month now. It first hit three taxis parked outside the venue, dragging them towards the crowd.
Among the three dead, one is a woman in her mid 20s while the others are men in their mid-30s. The identities of the woman and a man are yet to be known. The other man was an off-duty police officer.
