City police officer Rajaram Patel says another 20 people were injured when panicked pedestrians pushed forward to the end of an overcrowded bridge, with some people falling underfoot and being trampled.

The tragedy took place amid rain in the city around 10.40 am (IST) when the overbridge was heavily crowded, a police official said.

Police suspect a short-circuit with a loud sound near the FOB led to panic and people started running, resulting in the stampede, reported PTI.

Fifteen people were brought dead to the KEM Hospital in Parel, the official said.

Those injured were taken to various hospitals, he said.
