  "account": "At least six individuals lost their lives and numerous others sustained injuries in a chaotic stampede-like event at Ashokdham Temple in Lakhisarai, Bihar, on Monday. A witness recounted that a group of around 10-12 women pushed their way into a line of women, causing a commotion that led to panic and trampling. Many women fell victim to the overcrowding, resulting in several fainting as they became trapped beneath the mass of people. SDPO Shivam Kumar confirmed the fatalities and attributed the incident to an electric pole falling, causing electrocutions that exacerbated the stampede.",
