West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari visits families of victims of the Durga Puja stampede in north Kolkata and provides ₹25 lakh ex gratia payments. Reports describe him meeting relatives of Togor Bej and her son, Sandip Bej, who died in the incident, and handing over the aid.
The stampede occurred at the Chorbagan Durga Puja pandal and left 19 people dead and 25 others injured, according to the accounts cited. One outlet focuses on Adhikari’s visits and payments to specific bereaved families, while another similarly describes ₹25 lakh support but frames it as being provided to victims’ families more broadly. Across sources, the assistance amount and the identification of the incident’s victims in at least one reported case are consistent.
