What happens when the curry runs out

India temple stampede kills 90

NEW DELHI, India (CNN) -- Police in India revised the death toll in a stampede at a Hindu temple, saying 90 people had died by midday Tuesday.

"But one thing is clear, that a cascading effect did take place, as it was a slope where it happened," he said.

The deadly incident comes on the heels of another stampede that occurred in August, when more than 130 people were killed as panicked worshippers tried to flee a crowded mountaintop Hindu temple in northern India.
