Someone slipped: Trust President on cause of Mansa Devi stampede
President of the Mansa Devi temple trust, Mahant Ravindra Puri, said the stampede on Sunday was not an incident of electrocution. Instead, someone slipped amid a heavy crowd, causing the tragic event that claimed eight lives and injured several others. Earlier, SSP Pramendra Dobal had attributed the stampede to a rumour of an electric shock on the temple stairs.
