🚨 Deadly stampede at religious gathering for Bhole Baba in Hathras, India! Learn more about the preacher and the shocking event.

The recent stampede in Hathras, India, at a religious gathering led by Hindu guru Bhole Baba has left a devastating toll, with over 120 people, predominantly women, losing their lives. Bhole Baba, a former police constable turned preacher, commands a massive following, with his sermons attracting poor and marginalized Indians. However, the gathering took a tragic turn, leading to one of the deadliest stampedes in the region.

Suraj Pal, also known as Bhole Baba, is not only facing the aftermath of the stampede but also serious sexual assault charges. The 'satsang' gathering in Hathras turned catastrophic as chaos ensued, claiming many lives. Despite the absence of Bhole Baba's name in the FIR related to the incident, the police are yet to provide a detailed account of the situation.

In a surprising move, the Agra police have denied permission for Bhole Baba's future programs, raising questions about the safety and organization of such large gatherings. Search efforts to locate Bhole Baba have intensified post the stampede, with the police investigating the charity trust associated with him.

The tragic events in Hathras have shocked the nation, shedding light on the risks and consequences of overcrowded events led by influential figures like Bhole Baba. The aftermath of the stampede continues to unravel, prompting stricter regulations and scrutiny on religious gatherings to prevent such tragedies from reoccurring.
