- 5 years ago
At least 5 people were killed and around 30 others injured in a stampede on Sunday morning at Ratangarh temple in Datia, police said.
A large number of devotees had gathered at the temple, located around 60km from Datia, for Durga Puja festivities on Sunday.
The stampede apparently occurred after police resorted to a mild lathicharge to control the crowd of devotees moving towards the shrine, they said.
As the stampede occurred, over 100 people ran towards a bridge across Sindh River. Some of the devotees are feared to have fallen into the river and are untraceable so far, police said.
