A stampede at the satsang of self-styled godman Bhole Baba in Hathras, India, resulting in 121 deaths, is claimed by lawyer AP Singh to be a conspiracy where toxic gas was sprayed by masked individuals. The police have arrested nine people, including volunteers, in connection with the incident. Bhole Baba, not named as an accused, remains untraceable. Bhole Baba, formerly a constable, is known for his miracle cures and spiritual influence, attracting a large following despite legal controversies and criminal cases. The tragic stampede has highlighted concerns about blind faith in godmen and the need for better safety measures at such gatherings.
