Jaipur: Two Indian wedding celebrations ended in tragedy when revellers attending festivities were involved in separate accidents, leaving 43 people feared dead.
Police said that in western India, 24 people from the same extended family were killed when the van they were travelling in collided with a truck early Thursday about 130 kilometres northwest of Jodhpur.
Meanwhile in the central city of Pune, a boat ferrying people across a lake to a wedding capsized and sank late Wednesday, killing 10 people with nine still missing.
In both cases, police believe that severe overcrowding led to the accidents.
