Janjgir-Champa: In a wedding procession that turned fatal, 25 people were injured after an SUV rammed into a crowd in Chhattisgarh's Janjgir-Champa district on Monday night.
Nine people are said to be critical and have been admitted in hospital after the SUV carrying the groom hit the crowd, according to a report in NDTV.
