ATM Stampede Kills Elderly Man In UP 

Deoria (UP): After suicides and exhaustion claimed close to 60 lives in the aftermath of demonetization, a stampede outside an ATM was responsible for the death of an elderly man who had gone there to withdraw money for his pregnant daughter-in-laws hospital bills.

A 65-year-old man was trampled to death outside a bank while standing in a queue to withdraw cash, police said on Tuesday.

He had gone to withdraw money to make payments to a hospital where his pregnant daughter-in-law has been admitted, the officer said.

Kushwaha was rushed to a hospital where he was declared brought dead, the SP said.
