The driver of a truck and his assistant were charred to death after their vehicle caught fire in Madhya Pradesh's Shivpuri district on Tuesday morning, police said.

The incident occurred under Satanwada police station limits on the Agra-Mumbai National Highway, around 12 km from the district headquarters, around 8 am, an official said.

"The truck caught fire, and as its driver and 'cleaner' could not come out of it, they were burnt to death," Superintendent of Police (SP) Aman Singh Rathore said.

The truck carrying onions was going from Bijapur (in Karnataka) to Faridabad (in Haryana), he said.

The deceased were identified as driver Rizwan Ansari, a resident of Haryana, and cleaner Monu Badak, a resident of Chhattisgarh, he said.
