Iz policije navode da je do stampeda došlo zbog glasina da se srušio pješački nadvožnjak, nakon što su popustili betonski nosači. Zavladao je opšti haos, jer su ljudi željeli da što prije napuste nadvožnjak. Medicinske službe prevezle su povrijeđene u bolnicu.

Smrtonosni stampedo je prilično uobičajena pojava na indijskim religijskim festivalima, kada se mnogo ljudi okupi na malim područjima bez mjera kontrole mase.
