Case Filed Against Hathras 'Satsang' Organisers, No Mention Of 'Bhole Baba' | Read
At least 121 people died after a stampede broke out at a religious event in Uttar Pradesh's Hathras last evening. The tragedy occurred during a 'satsang' of Bhole Baba aka Narayan Saakar Hari which was attended by over two lakh people.
The site was overcrowded and there was extreme humidity. Officials said the satsang venue was too small to accommodate a strong crowd of 2.5 lakh devotees.
A case has been filed against a close aide or 'mukhya sewadar of the self-styled godman and the organisers of the event. The First Information Report or FIR, however, does not name Bhole Baba, whose original name is Suraj Pal Singh, as an accused.
