Almost a week after the stampede on the Elphinstone Station foot overbridge in Mumbai, an injured victim has told Dadar police that a flower vendor shouted phool gir gaya (flower has fallen) when the flowers he was carrying fell under the bridge.

The police are looking at this as a possible trigger of the Elphinstone foot overbridge stampede in Mumbai on September 29. As many as 23 people were killed and over 30 others injured in the stampede.
