MAHAKUMBH NAGAR: More than 36 hours have passed since the stampede at Maha Kumbh, but Jitendra Sahu has not caught a wink and has been frantically searching for his 70-year-old aunt Shakuntala Devi, who has been missing since. Shakuntala Devi had arrived at the Maha Kumbh from Gwalior with a group of 15 devotees.
"We have had no contact with my aunt since the incident. She has an identity card around her neck. Her phone is unreachable and she has not contacted anyone. We don't know what to do," he told PTI in a choked voice.
The tragedy struck between 1 am and 2 am on Wednesday, when a huge crowd broke through barriers and trampled over devotees who had been waiting overnight at the ghats to take a holy dip on the occasion of Mauni Amavasya, one of the most auspicious days of the Hindu calendar.
