Many people lost their lives due to the massive stampede. This was the third Sansaan of Maha Kumbh on 29th January in which more than 10 crore people had come for the Amit Sansaan.
On the night of 28th January on Mauni Amavasya, people were rolling on the same road on which the Sansaan was going. Between 1 and 2 in the night, the crowd of people kept increasing and the crowd became uncontrollable and started jumping on the people sleeping on the edge of the bearing cutting to go to Sangam, due to which people fell on the sleeping people.
After this, the crowd coming from behind started moving forward trampling the people, due to which people started falling on one another and a stampede occurred in which about 30 people are expected to have died and more than 60 people have been injured out of which 25 have been identified.
