At least six people died and several others were injured in a tragic incident at the Ashok Dham temple in Lakhisarai, India's eastern state of Bihar. The event occurred while devotees were observing a Hindu holy month.

Officials suspect that a falling electricity pole may have triggered the chaos. The pole's fall reportedly led to electrocutions, which then caused a stampede-like situation among the panicked worshippers. Shivam Kumar, a senior police officer, stated that the exact cause is under verification, but the initial reports point towards electrocution as a likely factor.

Authorities are currently investigating the incident to ascertain the precise sequence of events and confirm the cause of the deaths and injuries. The focus remains on understanding how the falling pole led to such a devastating outcome during a religious observance.
