The Rush for Nikita Gandhi’s performance

A large crowd, comprising both students and members of the general public, flocked to the CUSAT campus to see a live performance by renowned Bollywood playback singer Nikhitha Gandhi.

By 7:00 p.m., a sizable throng had gathered on the university grounds and in the auditorium.

“Passes were required for admittance into the program. However, those without passes, including students, also congregated on college grounds. Abruptly, the rain started to pour, and the crowd outside the auditorium pushed their way inside. This resulted in the stampede,” an institution faculty member stated.

Eyewitness Accounts

A number of students fell over the stairs that led to the auditorium’s gallery as more people crowded inside. An eyewitness told the media that more people fell on top of the kids who were already on the ground, causing the stampede.

The wounded students were soon transported to the nearby medical college by university officials and the police, who only needed to drive a few kilometers.
