Muzaffarpur (Bihar): At least nine children were killed and about 20 injured when a speeding Bolero lost control and ploughed through them outside a government school building on the outskirts of the city today, police said.

The heart-rending incident occurred under Minapur police station area, about 10 km from the district headquarters when the school got over and the children were returning home. “The incident took place at Ahiyapur-Jhapaha in Minapur police station area of the district where a Bolero ran over the children who were returning to their homes after the school was over,” Vivek Kumar, Superintendent of Police, Muzaffarpur, said.
