A rush hour stampede during an unexpected monsoon rain killed at least 22 people and injured more than 40 on Friday at Mumbai’s Elphinstone Road station. The tragedy took place amid rain in the city around 10:40 am when the foot over-bridge was heavily crowded.

"The crowd was increasing ...We couldn't breathe, we were falling on each other, there was panic. There was no exit. There was also a rumour that the bridge is falling, the bridge is breaking," shared Shruti Lokre, who survived the horror.
This is indeed one of the unusual and unfortunate accident ever happened in Mumbai. My sincere condolences to the family and relatives of people who are lost during this stampede. And we will make sure this kind of accident will never happen in future, and we will stand for justice.
MAY THE INNOCENT SOULS REST IN PEACE
