Tragedy in Hathras: Self-Styled Godman's Event Ends in Disaster
Controversial Guru Suraj Pal, Known as
Bhole Baba, Faces Dark Allegations Amidst Stampede Tragedy!
In a shocking turn of events, a 'satsang' led by the
controversial self-styled godman Suraj Pal, known to his followers as Bhole
Baba, ended in a tragic stampede in Hathras, Uttar Pradesh. The chaotic rush to
collect dust under the godman’s feet led to the deaths of 121 people, including
men, women, and children, who were trampled in the frenzied crowd.
A viral video captured the harrowing scene, showing
Bhole Baba leaving the venue in his car while hundreds of devotees chased after
him, desperate to gather dust as a token of his blessings. Despite his promises
of spiritual enlightenment, Bhole Baba's gatherings have frequently been marred
by controversy and legal troubles.
Suraj Pal's past is littered with serious allegations,
including multiple cases of sexual assault across Agra, Etawah, Kasganj,
Farrukhabad, and Rajasthan. Born in Bahadur Nagar, Kasganj, Pal had a brief
career in the police department before his first legal troubles in 1997 led to
imprisonment for sexual assault. After his release, he rebranded himself as
'Saakar Vishwa Hari Baba', drawing a significant following to his ashram in his
ancestral village despite his checkered history.
