SP Gill explained to ANI that there was no rush at the location and that the other three devotees fell as a result of a devotee falling on the stairs.Many people have been coming here for darshan since yesterday morning, and the darshan has lasted all night long, if you look at the Shiv Janmasthan, which is located atop the Shivneri Fort in Junnar.Three people were hurt when other people fell down the stairs when one of the devotees slipped. ‘There isn’t a stampede,’ SP Gill declared. The incident brings to light the difficulties in controlling crowds at well-known religious locations during periods of high pilgrimage.
