Hathras Stampede Incident: 72 Bodies Identified, Post-mortem Underway In 4 UP Districts

In one of the worst tragic incident in our recent memory, a stampede incident at a ‘Satsang’ in Hathras took 116 lives. Out of total 116 killed at Hathras Stampede Incident bodies of 72 has been identified.

In a religious congregation in Hathras, people suffocated to death following the stampede incident. The catastrophe led to the piling up of dead bodies atop each other. However, It is under investigation that what led to the occurring of stampede.

“Thirty-two bodies were brought here and 19 of them have been identified. We are identifying the rest of them,” Hathras Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Manjeet Singh said.

The chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, has instructed local officials to make sure that injured individuals are hospitalized as soon as possible. Yogi Adityanath also ordered officials to speed relief efforts.

Investigation underway in Hathras Stampede Incident

In order to identify the underlying causes of the occurrence and stop similar catastrophes in the future, he has also directed a comprehensive investigation into it.

In the meantime, the authorities searched the Ram Kutir Charitable Trust in the Mainpuri district for “Bhole Baba,” who gave a religious speech in Hathras that resulted in a stampede that killed 116 people.

It was said that Saurabh Kumar, who was once known as Sakar Vishwa Hari Bhole Baba, was conducting the Satsang.

The godman had previously worked for the Uttar Pradesh Police’s Intelligence division.

He left his position after 17 years of employment to become a preacher and go on a spiritual quest. Frequently observed imparting lessons, he wears a white suit and tie.

He organises satsang programmes with his wife and is also known as ‘Sakar Vishwa Hari Baba of Patiali’.

While his following extends beyond Uttar Pradesh to Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, the preacher and his acolytes maintain a distance from the media and also the social media.

According to a devotee, Bhole Baba had no religious mentor. Soon after voluntary retirement from service, he had a ‘vision’ of the deity that encouraged him to spiritual pursuits.

He used to hold his satsangs every Tuesday. He held a similar event in Mainpuri district last week before Hathras.
