At least 10 Hindus were killed and others were injured in a stampede during a religious ritual in central Bangladesh.
Police said they believed the stampede was set off by a rumor that a bridge was collapsing. As the rumor spread, thousands of people crowded onto a narrow pathway that led to one of the riverside platforms used for bathing, crushing three men and seven women underfoot, according to the police superintendent, Khandekar Mahid Uddin.
