Belagavi (Karnataka), Dec 7 (SocialNews.XYZ) A 12-year-old girl and a man were burnt alive and two others suffered grievous injuries when a tipper collided with a car at the Bambaraga Cross in Belagavi district in Karnataka on Thursday.

The deceased were relatives. They were identified as 24-year-old Mohan Maruthi Belgaokar, a resident of Bambaraga, and Sameeksha Deyekar from Macche village, said police, adding that a total four people were travelling in the car.
