Seven killed, several injured in stampede-like incident at Bihar Temple: Report
Seven people lost their lives and multiple others were injured in a tragic stampede-like incident at Ashokdham Temple in Lakhisarai, Bihar, on Monday according to reports from the sub-divisional police officer. SDPO Shivam Kumar confirmed the deaths and stated that several individuals suffered injuries as a result of the incident.
He mentioned that an electric pole falling and people being electrocuted could be the cause of the stampede, but the exact reason could only be determined after a thorough investigation. Lakhisarai deputy magistrate Shailendra Kumar informed that a massive crowd surged into the temple area, exacerbated by the arrival of two trains around 6:30-6:45 am.
The situation worsened when barricades broke due to the overwhelming crowd, leading people to collide with one another. Emergency services rushed 10-15 people to the hospital immediately.
