Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath announces judicial probe into Hathras stampede, holds 'sevadars' accountable for tragedy.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on July 3 announced a judicial probe into the Hathras stampede as he met those injured in the incident at the venue of the religious congregation in Hathras.
Mr. Adityanath did not rule out the possibility of a conspiracy in the stampede. He also said the "sevadars" (volunteers working for the 'satsang' organisers) should have taken the victims to the hospital.
People were dying and the "sevadars" fled, he claimed.
