In a tragic turn of events, the Hathras stampede has resulted in the deaths of 121 people, primarily due to blood accumulation in the thoracic cavity, asphyxia, and rib injuries.

Twenty-one bodies were brought to the S N Medical College and Hospital in Agra for post-mortem examinations, according to Chief Medical Officer Arun Srivastava. The casualties hailed from various regions including Mathura, Agra, Pilibhit, Kasganj, and Aligarh.

Family members of the deceased began arriving at the post-mortem house on Tuesday night. As bodies were handed over to them, the Uttar Pradesh government stepped in, announcing a judicial probe into the tragedy.
