Mahakumbh stampede: Yogi Adityanath gets emotional, forms 3-member probe panel
Before the Brahma Muhurta, between 1 am and 2 am on Wednesday, there was a huge crowd on the Akhara road in the fair area. Due to the crowd pressure, the barricades on one side broke and people crossed over. This led to people falling on those who were waiting for the snan. Those who were sleeping on the banks of the river were also trampled upon.
