Relatives of India crush victims accuse authorities of leaving people to die

Family members and eyewitnesses say they had to dig in mud to find survivors and some of the more than 120 killed

Relatives of victims of the deadly crowd crush during a Hindu religious gathering in northern India have accused the authorities of leaving their loved ones to die in the mud and on hospital floors due to a lack of medical staff and ambulances.

More than 120 people died at the religious gathering of about 250,000 people held on Tuesday as devotees surged forward, causing panic, with many falling over in the wet conditions.
