” When the panic situation happened, all these folks who organised ( the occasion ) fled from the spot”, Uttar Pradesh officers Inspector- General Shalabh Mathur told reporters.
AP Singh, the priest’s attorney, said he would also signify the six persons who had been arrested.
Authorities are doing their jobs, but the persons they have detained are the persons whose families have been the victims of the stampede, Singh said. ” The perpetrators have fled,” the statement read.
According to the first police report, the panic broke out on Tuesday evening when participants were exiting the lush ground by a bridge where the occasion was taking place.
Many people reportedly ran toward the priest’s car, but his aides prevented them from doing so, which sparked a brawl in which some fell to the ground and were trampled, according to officials.
People who attempted to run to open areas to escape the frenzy even slipped and fell on uneven ground in the crowd’s way, failing to climb.
The deceased, which included 112 ladies and seven kids, have all been identified and their body handed over to their people, officials said on Thursday.
At spiritual events and other large-scale crowd-inducing locations in India, there are frequently stampedes and other accidents, and the majority of them are brought on by poor group control.  ,
