Patna:
At least three people were killed and over a dozen injured in a stampede at fair in Bihar's Banka district, police said on Wednesday.

According to police officials, one victim was a local resident and two were from neighbouring Bhagalpur district.
The injured have been admitted in different hospitals.
Some people complained that there was no arrangement for proper light and security at the fair.
