Godman's security pushed crowd trying to collect mud after Bhole Baba left the venue which led to stampede, say eyewitnesses
CHAOS caused after followers of Narayan Sakaar Hari (Bhole Baba) were pushed by the godman's security and a slippery slope resulted in the stampede at a satsang event at Phulrai village in UP's Hathras district on Tuesday which killed 121 people, eyewitnesses and preliminary government report said.
"By the time I arrived at the site at around 6 pm, I could see dozens of bodies piled up on both sides of the highway," said Manu Singh, a resident of the nearby Iqbalpur village.
Locals say that the crowd was so large that the National Highway-91, near which the event took place, was completely closed for 5 km on both sides and occupied, with buses carrying devotees from far-off places. As a result, they say, ambulances took roughly an hour to reach the spot after the stampede, forcing people to arrange for private vehicles to reach nearby hospitals.
