Hathras Superintendent of Police revealed that the main accused Devprakash Madhukar had recently been in contact with several political parties.
121 families have still been reeling under the impact of the stampede in Hathras on Tuesday where their loved ones died. But all of them have united in two demands - a swift probe, and action against Bhole Baba aka Suraj Pal Singh who organised the 'satsang' where the stampede occurred. After arresting several accused in the case, police have uncovered that Bhole Baba's organisation had been getting funding from several political parties.
Hathras Superintendent of Police, Nipun Agarwal, today revealed that the main accused Devprakash Madhukar had recently been in contact with several political parties. This has prompted investigations into potential political conspiracies surrounding the incident. Madhukar was known to manage fundraising activities for events organized by the self-styled godman.
Mr Agarwal emphasized that financial transactions, money trails, and call records associated with Madhukar are currently under scrutiny. The police are also planning to seek his remand for further questioning.
