Four employees of a private firm were killed after their company vehicle carrying a group of staffers caught fire near Pune on Wednesday morning, police said.

The incident occurred at Hinjewadi in the Pimpri Chinchwad area, an official said.

A tempo traveller was ferrying some employees of the company to their office. When the vehicle was nearing Dassault Systemes, it suddenly caught fire, prompting the driver to slow down, said Deputy Commissioner of Police Vishal Gaikwad of Hinjewadi.

“While some employees managed to come out, four of them could not and died. The work to remove the bodies from the vehicle is under way,” he added.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
