Hathras Stampede Case Sparks Political Criticism
News summary

The 3,200-page chargesheet filed by the police on the Hathras stampede incident, which resulted in 121 fatalities, excludes the self-styled godman Surajpal Singh, also known as Bhole Baba, as an accused, drawing criticism from political figures like BSP chief Mayawati for alleged government bias. Despite naming 11 individuals, including event organizers, the chargesheet has led to the suspension of several officials for negligence, while Bhole Baba's role remains unexamined. The incident, attributed to mismanagement with crowds far exceeding limits, continues to prompt judicial inquiries, although Bhole Baba's lawyer claims an external malicious act caused the stampede. The trial for those named in the chargesheet is set to proceed, with the next hearing scheduled for October 4. The case has sparked political and public debate, underscoring concerns over government accountability and safety regulations at large gatherings.
