In a heart-wrenching incident amid the Durga Puja celebrations, two women and a child died and more than ten people were injured in a stampede at a crowed pandal in Bihar's Gopalgunj on Monday late evening.

The stampede broke out at the Raja Dal Durga Puja pandal during 'Maha Navami' celebrations and revelry, police said.

The injured pandal-hoppers were admitted to Sadar Hospital, the police said, adding that there was no security deployment at the pandal to manage crowds, which led to the stampede.
