Hathras Stampede Bhole Baba: 121 people died in the accident in Hathras. In the case registered in this matter, Bhole Baba’s name has not been registered as an accused.
Hathras Stampede News: People are still shocked by the accident that happened in the first week of July in Hathras district of Uttar Pradesh. 121 people died in a stampede after a satsang in Hathras. Baba Harinarayan Sakar alias Bhole Baba’s satsang was being held in Fullerai village of the district. Bhole Baba, who came into the limelight after the Hathras accident, said on Wednesday (July 17) that he is very upset by the stampede, but no one can avoid what is written in destiny and everyone has to die one day.
Bhole Baba’s real name is Surajpal Jatav. In an interview to PTI, Baba said that he is in depression and extremely distressed since the July 2 incident, but who can avoid destiny? Whatever has come will have to go one day. Repeating a statement given earlier by his lawyer A.P. Singh, he said, “What our lawyer Dr. A.P. Singh and eyewitnesses have told about the poisonous spray is completely true, there has definitely been some conspiracy.”
Full faith in SIT investigation: Bhole Baba
Bhole Baba alleged that there are some people who are trying to defame his organization which runs on the basis of Sanatan and truth. He said, “We have full faith in the SIT (Special Investigation Team) and the judicial commission and all the followers of Manav Mangal Milan Sadbhavana Samagam also have full faith that they will expose the conspirators by separating the wheat from the chaff.”
Baba said, “We have appealed to the great men to stand with the families of the departed souls and the injured undergoing treatment with their body, mind and money for the rest of their lives, which all the great men have also started accepting according to their capacity.” Earlier, Bhole Baba reached his ashram in Patiyali, Kasganj on Wednesday.
Bhole Baba did not go to any other country: Lawyer
Bhole Baba’s lawyer A.P. Singh told reporters in Kasganj, “He (Bhole Baba) has reached his ashram and will stay here. He has come here from another ashram. He has never gone to anyone’s house, hotel or any other country.” He said that Kasganj is the birthplace of Baba and he last came here for a day in 2023 and before that he came here in 2013.
SIT was formed to investigate the stampede
In fact, on July 2, 121 people died in a stampede after the satsang of self-proclaimed Baba Surajpal alias Narayan Sakar Hari alias Bhole Baba in Sikandrarao area of Hathras. The state government has constituted SIT and judicial commission to investigate the incident. Baba’s name was not included as an accused in the case registered in the stampede case.
What were the reasons for the Hathras accident?
The SIT did not rule out the possibility of a big conspiracy behind the stampede in its report submitted to the state government last July. The SIT report also points to lapses on the part of the local administration. The report blames the organizers for the stampede and claims that they did not make any arrangements to control the crowd and the responsibility of the administration has also been fixed.
Sources said that the local police and administration did not take the event seriously and failed to give proper information to senior officials. Bhole Baba’s lawyer had claimed on July 6 that the stampede in Hathras was caused by some poisonous substance sprayed by some unknown people. A separate judicial commission headed by retired Allahabad High Court judge Brijesh Kumar Srivastava is also investigating the Hathras stampede case.
Earlier, government agencies including the police had blamed the organizers for mismanagement of the event, saying that the organizers had informed the administration about the arrival of 80 thousand people in the satsang but a crowd of 2.5 lakh people gathered there. So far, nine people including the main accused Devprakash Madhukar have been arrested in connection with the stampede. Madhukar was the main organizer of Bhole Baba’s ‘satsang’ in Phulrai village of Hathras on July 2.
