Rain Triggered Crowd Surge, Barricades Breached Ahead Of Kolkata Durga Puja Stampede
A new video captures the sequence of events leading up to a deadly stampede at a Kolkata Durga Puja pandal. The footage shows sudden heavy rainfall triggering visitors to rush and crowd together to seek shelter. Earlier visuals from October 16 and October 17 had already shown barricades being breached by surging crowds in the exact same lane, raising questions about police crowd management and arrangements. A special task force has been formed to investigate the matter as more video evidence comes to light.
