Eyewitness Ravi Solanki shared his experience with Dial24news, stating, “I was coming from the office and heard that the Indian team would arrive between 5 pm-6 pm, but they didn’t. The crowd kept increasing, and the police were not managing the situation. People suddenly started shouting, leading to some falling on each other. It was very unorganized, with nobody to manage the situation. The incident occurred between 8:15-8:45 pm.
A victim, Rishab Mahesh Yadav, who fell unconscious during the victory parade told ANI, “The crowd was increasing. I fell and got choked. I became unconscious. I was taken to the nearby hospital, where I received treatment. I feel fine now. The crowd was more than necessary. There was mis-mamagement. The police were also not alert.
