Stampede

Narayan Sakaar Hari alias Bhole Baba, in his first reaction to the Hathras stampede which killed 121 people on July 2, said that whoever has come to this Earth has to depart one day.

Self-styled godman Surajpal alias Narayan Sakar Hari alias Bhole Baba, who held a satsang in Hathras recently where 121 devotees were killed after a stampede, has reached his ashram at Bahadur Nagar village in Kasganj, his lawyer said on Wednesday.

The recent Air India Airport Services Limited recruitment drive for airport loaders at Mumbai Airport has thrown light on a stark reality: a large number of educated job aspirants are now competing for basic handyman positions.

A recruitment drive for airport loaders led to a stampede-like situation at Mumbai airport yesterday.

Mass gatherings are inevitable in a country as populous as India. Authorities at all levels must be made fully aware of the guidelines, restrictions and advisories to prevent loss of lives.

Union Minister Ramdas Athawale on Tuesday said self-styled godman Surajpal alias Bhole Baba should extend financial help to families of Hathras stampede victims.

The modern Indian godmen are a different brand. They are flashy, powerful, influential, more connected to the worldly world, and draw huge crowds of supporters. And, they are not new to scandals.

The district official - a sub divisional magistrate - who permitted 'godman' Bhole Baba's 'prayer meet' in Uttar Pradesh's Hathras, at which a stampede killed 121 people - never inspected the venue, the SIT said in its report.

The Hathras incident that claimed the lives of 121 followers at a satsang, or religious gathering, of a self-styled godman last week, has reached the Supreme Court over a demand for a probe led by a retired top court judge.

Overcrowding was the main reason behind the stampede at a 'satsang' in Uttar Pradesh's Hathras that claimed 121 lives, a Special Investigation Team (SIT) has said in its report to the Yogi Adityanath government.

Unfortunately, the very hope and goodness of Indian spiritual traditions has been long exploited by charlatans or the babas and matas pretending to be superheroes.

Days after 121 people were killed due to a stampede at a religious gathering in Hathras, advocate AP Singh has claimed that the incident that took the lives of 121 people, mostly women and children occurred because unidentified men sprayed poison.

Self-styled godman Bhole Baba's lawyer AP Singh alleged on Sunday that witnesses told him some people opened cans containing a poisonous substance in the crowd during the July 2 Hathras 'satsang', triggering the stampede.

Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, has written a letter to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath regarding the Hathras stampede incident.

Just a pat on the back by preacher "Bhole Baba" and Ramkumari said a stone in her kidney vanished. The 85-year-old gave no proof but this story and countless others of similar "miracles" led to Baba's following rocketing in India's northern states.
