Part 4/9:
The tragic events were precipitated by a volatile atmosphere during the football match, amplified by several incidents that incited tensions between the crowd and the security forces. As the situation escalated, tear gas was deployed by the police to control the crowd—a decision that would exacerbate the chaos rather than mitigate it. This response forced many people toward the already overcrowded exit gates, leading to the unfortunate crush that resulted in numerous casualties.
