India stampede: Police arrest 6 people after religious event turns deadly in Uttar Pradesh
Indian police said on Thursday that they had arrested six people in connection with the mass crushing of devotees at a Hindu religious event in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh this week, in which at least 121 people were killed.
The incident occurred on Tuesday in the Hathras village of Phulrai Mughal Garhi, where about 250,000 people had gathered to listen to preacher Suraj Pal Singh, also known as "Bhole Baba." An initial police report said that event organizers obtained permission for only 80,000 people.
According to police, the four men and two women who were arrested were aides to Baba and involved in organizing the event, but fled when the stampede broke out. Asked about Baba's role, a senior police officer said the preacher was not named in the case they had registered.
Officials said the stampede started when a handful of people ran towards the preacher's vehicle when the event was ending, but were stopped by his aides. This led to the commotion during which some of the people fell to the ground and were trampled.
