印度西孟加拉邦加尔各答在杜尔迦女神节庆祝期间发生踩踏事件，造成至少17人死亡、25人受伤1。事件发生于2026年10月17日晚19时40分左右，地点为Chor Bagan地区Sarada Park Puja Pandal的出口处1。遇难者包括13名女性和1名儿童，其中包括一名7岁女孩1。警方随后拘留了12人，包括节日组织者1。
印度总理莫迪对此事件表示"极度令人不安"，宣布向遇难者家属提供临时赔偿1。西孟加拉邦首席部长承诺对事件进行严格调查1。这是继去年昆布梅拉宗教集会踩踏事件造成30人死亡后，印度再次发生重大人员伤亡事件1。
踩踏事件的发生同时引发了对印度政治局势的关注。蟑螂人民党创始人阿比吉特·迪普克因参与反对特殊集中修订计划（SIR）的抗议活动而被拘留，该计划已从选民名单中删除超1.3亿人名12。迪普克于10月17日被德里警方拘留，10月18日获释2。学生领导人尼哈·博拉也因参与抗议被拘留后获释1。反对党指责该修订计划针对少数族裔选民，但选举委员会否认存在偏向任何政党的情况2。
美国民主党六名议员敦促国务卿马克·鲁比奥在访印期间就印度对青年抗议活动的镇压问题提出关切1。
A deadly crush occurred at a Durga Puja pandal in Kolkata's Chor Bagan neighborhood on the evening of October 17, 2026, as crowds gathered to celebrate the Hindu festival.1 The incident at the Sarada Park pandal's exit resulted in at least 17 deaths, including 13 women and one child, with a 7-year-old girl among the victims.1 An additional 25 people sustained injuries in the tragedy.1 Police arrested 12 individuals in connection with the disaster, including festival organizers.1
Prime Minister Narendra Modi characterized the stampede as "deeply disturbing" and announced interim compensation for the families of those who died.1 The incident mirrors a previous mass casualty event, as a stampede at the Kumbh Mela religious gathering in the preceding year had claimed 30 lives.1
The tragedy occurred amid broader turmoil in India over youth-led protests and election administration. Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach People's Party, was detained on October 17 for attempting to lead an unauthorized protest in New Delhi and was released on October 18.12 The detention related to demonstrations against a special census revision initiative that has removed over 1.3 billion names from voter rolls, which opposition parties allege disproportionately targets minority communities.12 Six Democratic members of the U.S. Congress subsequently urged Secretary of State Marco Rubio to raise concerns about India's response to youth-led protests during his visit to the country.1
