On 18 January 2014, a stampede broke out in Mumbai near the Malabar Hill residence of Dawoodi Bohra's spiritual leader Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin, who had died on 17 January 2014.[2]
Events
The stampede started around 1:30 a.m. when his supporters had assembled to pay their last respect after the gates were opened and the crowds burst in.[3] According to the BBC, "reports suggest people were crushed after the gates of the house where the body of Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin were kept were closed."[4] Eighteen people were confirmed dead and around fifty-six injured.[5][6]
According to one mourner, "There were a lot of people pouring in, and there was not much attention given by the government and the police, who should have been here and who should have managed things."[7] Another mourner said, "In an attempt to get a glimpse of the Syedna, people started climbing on the main gates. Several fell and commotion ensued."[8]
A full list of the victims and their ages was later provided.[9]
