Speaking to IANS, Kismati Yadav, aunt of 8-year-old girl Ragini, said, “We came here at 2 in the night. We stood in line on the road at 2:15 in the night.

Due to the crowd, we stopped on the side with the girl near a shop next to the pavilion. As soon as we stood near the shop, the crowd increased further. The shopkeeper had put a tarpaulin in front, which was filled with water. When the crowd hit the tarpaulin, the current spread. Looks like there was already a current in the water. Our daughter lost her life.”
