The last major Kumbh-related crush happened at Prayagraj (formerly Allahabad) railway station in 2013 when 30 pilgrims died during the peak of the festival. We are still waiting for further details and confirmation about casualties.

The crowd crush occurred at the world’s largest religious event for Hindus, attended by hundreds of millions of people.

Multiple people were killed in a crowd crush at the world’s largest religious gathering in India early Wednesday, as tens of millions of devotees went to bathe in a river on one of the most sacred days of a Hindu festival.
