A five-year-old boy and two women were killed, while several others received injuries in a stampede at a Durga Puja pandal in Bihar's Gopalganj district on October 23, police said.
The incident happened at a crowded pandal in the Raja Dal locality of the town, Superintendent of Police Swarna Prabhat said.
He said devotees had lined up to receive "prasad" when the child fell down and two elderly women bent down to protect him from getting crushed.
