At least 17 people died in a crowd crush at an event marking Durga Puja in Kolkata, BBC News reported on Saturday, 17 October, citing officials. Witnesses said sudden rain sent people rushing to find shelter.
West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendhu Adhikari said the dead included a seven-year-old girl and that 25 people were being treated for injuries. A senior police official, speaking to AFP, said an announcement after the rain began triggered confusion, with people pushing forward and falling. Those accounts describe the immediate sequence but do not establish responsibility for the crush.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi called the incident “tragic” and said the state government was helping affected families. The deaths come two years after 121 people were killed at a Hindu religious gathering in Uttar Pradesh.
