At least 125 people were killed and 50 injured when thousands of pilgrims stampeded Tuesday at a temple in the historic town of Jodhpur in western India, officials said. Severe overcrowding apparently caused the crush as more than 12,000 people gathered at the temple to celebrate a Hindu festival, Jodhpur Police Superintendent Malini Agarwal was quoted as saying by the Associated Press. At least 125 were killed and 50 were injured in the stampede, said senior police official Rajeev Daso.
