At least 116 people were killed after a stampede broke out at a religious event by a self-styled godman, Bhole Baba aka Narayan Saakar Hari, in Uttar Pradesh's Hathras.
Baba Narayan Hari is likely to be arrested soon after at least 116 people died in a stampede at his 'satsang' (religious congregation) in Uttar Pradesh's Hathras on Tuesday.
The self-styled godman, whose original name is Suraj Pal and is also known as Saakar Vishwa Hari Bhole Baba, is believed to be at his 'ashram' in Mainpuri, about 100 km from near the Phulrai village, where he held the event attended by thousands of devotees.
Many senior police officials have reached the Hathras stampede site, while others are at his ashram, the Ram Kutir Charitable Trust. Besides police personnel, an NDTV team at the ashram also saw his devotees gathering in large numbers.
