A judicial commission investigating the Hathras stampede, which led to 121 deaths, has blamed administrative failures for the tragedy while also hinting at a possible conspiracy. The report highlighted that permission was given for 80,000 people, but the crowd swelled to over 2.5 lakh. Though it did not hold Bhole Baba personally responsible, it pointed to lapses by authorities and his ‘sevadars’ as key reasons behind the disaster.
The Uttar Pradesh Government has formed a three-member judicial commission, led by former Allahabad High Court Judge Brijesh Kumar Srivastav, to investigate the Hathras stampede that claimed over 120 lives. The commission will examine aspects such as crowd control measures and recommend preventive actions. Various legal pleas have been initiated in response to the tragic incident.
