Self-styled godman Bhole Baba, also known as Narayan Sakar Hari, expressed deep disturbance over the July 2 Hathras stampede, which resulted in 121 deaths during his 'satsang.' He asserted that the incident was unavoidable and hinted at a conspiracy involving a poisonous spray. Despite not being named as an accused, the godman claimed defamation attempts against his organization. Nine people, including key organizer Devprakash Madhukar, have been arrested in connection with the incident.
