A stampede at a religious gathering of thousands in northern India has killed at least 105 people, many of them women and children.
A stampede among thousands of people at a religious gathering in northern India has killed at least 105 and left scores injured, officials said Tuesday, with many women and children among the dead. Attendees had rushed to leave a makeshift tent following an event with Hindu figure Bhole Baba, local media reported. They cited authorities who said heat and suffocation inside could have been a factor. Video of the aftermath showed that the structure appeared to have collapsed.
Initial reports suggested that over 15,000 people had gathered for the event, which had permission to host about 5,000. “People started falling one upon another, one upon another. Those who were crushed died. People there pulled them out,” witness Shakuntala Devi told the Press Trust of India news agency. Bodies were brought to hospitals and morgues by trucks and private vehicles, government official Matadin Saroj said.
