At least 19 people died and 25 were injured after panic broke out at a festival in the Indian city of Kolkata. The panic reportedly occurred at an exit after a misleading announcement, according to the Prime Minister of West Bengal. Most of the victims were reportedly women and children. The crowd may have gathered closely together to shelter from the rain before people were caught in the crush.

Kolkata police arrested 12 people for questioning, including organizers, volunteers and security guards.
