Four teenage boys on way to a wedding ceremony were crushed to death when a speeding truck overturned on them in Uttar Pradesh's Sitarpur district, police said on Monday.

Station House Officer of Rausa police station Hanumant Lal Tiwari said the truck loaded with rice husk was going to Bahraich from Sitapur when it overturned on the boys standing on the roadside on Sunday night.

Locals rushed the four to a community health centre where they were declared dead.

The deceased have been identified as Munna (16), Sufian (15), Altaf (15) and Alfaj (14), all residents of Bahraich district, police said.

The bodies of the deceased have been sent for postmortem.

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).
