According to official figures, the death toll is 30 and the number of injured stands at 60. According to eyewitnesses, the main trigger for the stampede was the sudden rush of pilgrims at the Sangam who were eager to take a bath at 3 am on the beginning of the auspicious muhurat of Mauni Amavasya. Since it was the morning of Mauni Amavasya, one of the most auspicious days of the Hindu calendar, the rush of crowd that gathered to take a holy bath on this occasion transformed into a stampede.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Following this incident, a flurry of different types of videos and claims are being widely circulated on social media. In one such video, a group of men can be seen raising slogans in support of Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav. Sharing this video, it is being claimed that these men caused the stampede at the Kumbh Mela in which many people lost their lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A collage of two video clips is also being shared in which one side features a report by The Lallantop. In this, a person is claiming that a bus had stopped here with 15 to 20 youths getting down from it, which caused the stampede. The second video shows footage of a group of youths shouting slogans of &#8216;Long live Akhilesh Yadav&#8217;. It is being claimed that these boys triggered the stampede.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">An X user named Ocean Jain shared this video and wrote, &#8220;If eyewitnesses are to be believed, some people got down from a bus and caused a stampede. And you can see in the second video how they are shouting &#8216;Akhilesh Yadav&#8217; as if they have come to a rally. Was this video taken before the stampede? The police and administration should investigate from this angle.&#8221; It is worth noting that this user has been found spreading misinformation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/bull-getting-tortured-distressing-video-from-punjab-falsely-viral-as-iskcon-bangladesh\/\">earlier as well<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"hi\">\u091a\u0936\u094d\u092e\u0926\u0940\u0926\u094b\u0902 \u0915\u0940 \u092e\u093e\u0928\u0947 \u0924\u094b \u0915\u0941\u091b \u0932\u094b\u0917 \u090f\u0915 \u092c\u0938 \u0938\u0947 \u0909\u0924\u0930\u0947 \u0914\u0930 \u092d\u0917\u0926\u0921\u093c \u092e\u091a\u093e\u090f<\/p>\n<p>\u0914\u0930 \u0906\u092a \u0926\u0942\u0938\u0930\u0940 \u0935\u0940\u0921\u093f\u092f\u094b \u0926\u0947\u0916 \u0938\u0915\u0924\u0947 \u0939\u0948 \u0915\u0948\u0938\u0947 \u0905\u0916\u093f\u0932\u0947\u0936 \u092f\u093e\u0926\u0935 \u091a\u093f\u0932\u094d\u0932\u093e \u0930\u0939\u0947 \u0939\u0948 \u091c\u0948\u0938\u0947 \u0915\u093f\u0938\u0940 \u0930\u0948\u0932\u0940 \u092e\u0947\u0902 \u0906\u090f \u0939\u094b<\/p>\n<p>\u0915\u0939\u0940\u0902 \u092f\u0939 \u0935\u0940\u0921\u093f\u092f\u094b \u092d\u0917\u0926\u0921\u093c \u0935\u093e\u0932\u0940 \u0938\u094d\u0925\u093f\u0924\u093f \u0915\u0947 \u092a\u0939\u0932\u0947 \u0915\u093e \u0924\u094b \u0928\u0939\u0940\u0902 \u0939\u0948??<\/p>\n<p>\u092a\u0941\u0932\u093f\u0938 \u0913\u0930 \u092a\u094d\u0930\u0936\u093e\u0938\u0928 \u0915\u094b \u0907\u0938 \u090f\u0902\u0917\u0932 \u0938\u0947 \u091c\u093e\u0902\u091a \u0915\u0930\u0928\u0940 \u091a\u093e\u0939\u093f\u090f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/asS8eOlIIg\">pic.twitter.com\/asS8eOlIIg<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 ocean jain (@ocjain4) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ocjain4\/status\/1884896114840678850?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 30, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">BJP supporter Raushan Sinha shared the video and wrote that the Uttar Pradesh government should investigate whether these young men were the reason behind the stampede.

Virendra also posted the video on his social media accounts on January 27. Pradeep shared with us the link to the video posted by Virendra on Facebook and Instagram. It can be clearly seen that this video was posted on January 27. In other words, the video was posted on social media two days before the stampede, which occurred on the morning of January 29. Therefore, the claim that these youths caused the stampede is false.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To sum up, many BJP supporters shared a video of some men raising slogans of &#8216;Long live Akhilesh Yadav&#8217; at the Maha Kumbh Mela and falsely claimed that these men caused the stampede which led to the death of many people. However, in reality, this video was posted online two days before the incident.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several people were killed and many seriously injured in a stampede that took place at around 2 am on January 29 at the ongoing Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh.
