Kolkata Police have asked a court to allow collection of voice samples from two arrested men in the Chorbagan Durga Puja stampede that killed 19 people on October 17.
Crowded festivals draw lakhs of families, and this case tests how loudspeaker announcements and crowd management are handled at puja pandals and similar public events.
Track the court's ruling on voice samples and the SIT findings that will shape the stampede chargesheet.
