Stampede kills unspecified number of people at New Delhi train station, Indian official says
NEW DELHI (AP) — A stampede has killed an unspecified number of people at a major railway station in India’s capital, the country’s defense minister said Sunday.
Rajnath Singh said in a X post that he was “extremely pained by the loss of lives due to stampede” at the New Delhi Railway Station.
Singh didn’t specify how many people were killed and injured in the stampede on Saturday evening, but news agency Press Trust of India said that at least 15 people were injured.
The stampede happened while thousands of people were gathered at the railway station and waiting to board a train to the site of the Maha Kumbh Hindu festival in northern India.
