A CCTV footage emerged, showing passengers jostling to board an unreserved train at Mumbai's Bandra Terminus railway station on Sunday, which eventually led to a stampede that injured 10 persons.
The stampede occurred when chaos ensued as large crowds tried to board the 22-coach unreserved Bandra-Gorakhpur Antyodaya Express, which arrived from the railway yard around 2.44 am on Sunday. Such crowds are a common sight during the festive season.
The footage, purportedly from a CCTV camera on the north end of platform no 1 at Bandra Terminus, showed many passengers losing their footing while trying to board the train. It also shows passengers trying to board the train before it comes to a complete halt, while some are seen attempting to enter through an emergency exit window. However, the visuals do not show the stampede.
