A boat carrying people to a wedding in central India has capsized, killing 10 people and leaving nine missing.

Nine other people managed to swim to safety after the boat went down late on Wednesday near the city of Pune, said police officer Prakash Sonar.

Police and local residents were searching for the missing, but hopes of finding more survivors were slim, said Sonar.
