In a distressing incident, a car was driven into a crowd of devotees, killing an 8-month-old child, and injuring at least 14 people.

The incident occurred in Mudia village in Sitapur in Uttar Pradesh, during a Bhagwat Katha event.

Police said that a man named Rajnish was driving the car. He was allegedly drunk, and didn’t realise that the car was running, before he rammed into the crowd, police said.

More details are awaited.
