Hathras Stampede Accused Who Sought Permission For Satsang Fired

Around 30 people from his village had gone to attend the satsang in Hathras.

Dev Prakash Madhukar, the main accused in the Hathras stampede, has been removed from his post of technical assistant at Sheetalpur block of Etah district in Uttar Pradesh where he was supervising MGNREGA work across 20 panchayats since 2010 on contract.

Block development officer (Sheetalpur) Dinesh Sharma said that the process for Madhukar's removal and termination of his contract has been initiated after his name appeared as the main accused in the FIR and a reward of Rs 1 lakh was declared on him by the Hathras police.

Madhukar also faces an NBW for being on the run after the incident.
