Hathras tragedy highlights | SIT to probe stampede incident, says UP CM

Hello readers. At least 121 people, including women and children, lost their lives at a stampede in Uttar Pradesh's Hathras district on Tuesday. The incident took place at a religious congregation of cop-turned-preacher Baba Narayan Hari, alias Saakar Vishwa Hari 'Bhole Baba', who had a strong following in the state. Bhole Baba, however, is absconding. Most bodies have been identified, and an FIR has been lodged against the organisers of the event. The incident has also snowballed into a political issue, with Opposition leaders demanding a discussion in Parliament and calling for UP CM Yogi Adityanath's resignation. CM Yogi Adityanath smells 'conspiracy' behind Hathras stampede, forms SIT to probe incident. That's all for the day. Keep following DH for the latest updates.
