HATHRAS, July 2, 2024 (TBINN)
The deadly stampede in Hathras today that claimed over 100 lives occurred at a congregation of Baba Narayan Hari alias Saakar Vishwa Hari ‘Bhole Baba’, a former policeman who turned into a religious preacher two decades ago and gained a following, especially in western Uttar Pradesh.
The real name of Bhole Baba is Surajpal. He is a native of Bahadur Nagar in Kasganj district, a retired I.P.S. Officer said.
Circle Officer (C.O.) of Patiyali Vijay Kumar Rana told the Press that Surjpal left his job as a policeman in late 1990s and turned to spirituality. He started conducting ‘satsang’ (religious sermons).
