While the Kerala government has ordered a probe to ascertain causes behind the November 25 Cochin University stampede, a sudden downpour at the open air auditorium led to the stampede and subsequent deaths of four students, media reports quoting police officials have said.
The initial reports suggested that the stampede occurred during the singer Nikita Gandhi's performance but officials later said that the singer had not begun her performance when the tragedy struck.
Four people had died and 60 injured in the stampede on Saturday. Four students are reported to be critically injured.
