Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin gestures as he speaks to community members on his 99th Birthday in Mumbai
At least 18 people died and nearly 50 were injured in a stampede in India's financial capital of Mumbai early on Saturday as thousands of mourners gathered following the death of the 102-year-old leader of a Muslim sect.
The stampede took place outside the home of Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin, the spiritual leader of the Dawoodi Bohra Muslim community, in Malabar Hill, a wealthy part of the city, police said.
He died on Friday and his body had been placed in his home to allow followers to pay their respects.
