Madhukar, the 'mukhya sevadar' of the 'satsang' where the stampede occurred, is the only accused named in the FIR lodged at Sikandra Rao police station in Hathras.  

Hathras stampede main accused surrenders in Delhi, claims his lawyer 

Madhukar, the 'mukhya sevadar' of the 'satsang' where the stampede occurred, is the only accused named in the FIR lodged at Sikandra Rao police station in Hathras. &nbsp;

Devprakash Madhukar, the main accused in the July 2 Hathras stampede which claimed 121 lives, has been taken into custody by Uttar Pradesh Police after he surrendered in Delhi, his lawyer claimed on Friday night.
Madhukar, the 'mukhya sevadar' of the 'satsang' where the stampede occurred, is the only accused named in the FIR lodged at Sikandra Rao police station in Hathras in connection with the incident.
In a video message, Madhukar's lawyer A P Singh claimed that his client had surrendered in Delhi, where he was undergoing treatment.
"Today, we have surrendered Devprakash Madhukar, who has been called the main organiser in the FIR in the Hathras case, after calling the police, the SIT and the STF in Delhi since he was undergoing treatment here," Singh said.
"We had promised we would not apply for anticipatory bail since we did no wrong. What is our crime? He is an engineer and a heart patient. Doctors said his condition is stable now and so we surrendered today to join the probe," the lawyer said.
Singh said police may now record his statement or question him but they must take into consideration his health condition and ensure that "nothing wrong happens with him".
"We did not do anything like filing anticipatory bail or moving court which would have been viewed as an effort to save ourselves and being scared... questions were being raised about his (Madhukar) whereabouts and if he had run away," he claimed.
Madhukar will join the probe and share information about the "anti-social elements" at the event, he added.
Uttar Pradesh Police had announced a reward of Rs 1 lakh for information leading to Madhukar's arrest.
On July 3, the Supreme Court lawyer, had claimed that he also represents Surajpal alias Narayan Sakar Hari alias Bhole Baba, the self-styled godman at whose 'satsang' the stampede occurred, and that some "anti-social elements" were behind the tragedy.
Surajpal was ready to cooperate with the state administration and police and had sought an investigation into the entire matter, Singh had said.
Till Thursday, six people, including two women volunteers who were members of the organising committee of Bhole Baba's 'satsang', had been arrested in the case.
An FIR was lodged in the matter on July 2 under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) sections 105 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder), 110 (attempt to commit culpable homicide), 126 (2) (wrongful restraint), 223 (disobedience to order duly promulgated by the public servant) and 238 (causing disappearance of evidence).
On July 3, the Uttar Pradesh government had formed a three-member judicial commission headed by a retired high court judge to probe the Hathras tragedy and to look into the possibility of a conspiracy behind the stampede.&nbsp;

In a press briefing, Aligarh Inspector General of Police Shalabh Mathur said that all of the arrested are members of the organising committee and worked as 'sevadars'.

Hathras stampede: UP Police arrest six 'sevadars', ₹1 lakh bounty on main accused 

In a press briefing, Aligarh Inspector General of Police Shalabh Mathur said that all of the arrested are members of the organising committee and worked as 'sevadars'.

The Uttar Pradesh Police on the 4th of July announced that they have arrested six people, including two women, in connection with the Hathras stampede that killed 121 people.
This is the first arrest in the tragedy that took place on the 2nd of July.
In a press briefing, Aligarh Inspector General of Police Shalabh Mathur said that all of the arrested are members of the organising committee and worked as 'sevadars'.
"Six people including four men and two women have been arrested in the incident. They all are members of the organising committee and worked as 'Sevadars'."
The top cop further said that after the stampede, all of the members of the organising committee and preacher Bhole Baba fled the spot, leaving the people, mostly women and children, at the lurch.
Mathur said that the police will issue a non-bailable warrant against chief sevadar Devprakash Madhukar and announced a reward of Rs 1 lakh.
Mathur said that the bodies of all victims of the Hathras stampede have been identified and handed over to their families.&nbsp;

UP minister Asim Arun said large gatherings would be permitted only if the basic, minimum conditions for amenities are met.

UP plans SOPs for large gatherings to prevent Hathras-like tragedies

UP minister Asim Arun said large gatherings would be permitted only if the basic, minimum conditions for amenities are met.

A day after a stampede in Hathras claimed 121 lives, Uttar Pradesh minister Asim Arun on Wednesday said the state government has started work on SOPs for granting permission for large gatherings to prevent such incidents in future.
He said Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has instructed officials to prepare the standard operating procedures (SOPs) and permission for events would be granted only if the "basic, minimum" conditions for amenities are met.
Arun, the minister of state for social welfare, is part of a three-minister committee formed by Adityanath for supervising the relief measures in the aftermath of the stampede.
Explaining how the tragedy unfolded, he said, "It appears sevadars (volunteers) who were managing things inside did something wrong in terms of crowd management and that is another lesson learnt." "We should not leave it to sevadars or volunteers. They do a great job, of course, but the police and magistrates are more experienced," he said.
So, the chief minister has decided that the state will have a more detailed SOP now for any such gathering, whether it has 1,000 or one lakh people, the minister told PTI.
"It's not just this, it's about civic amenities as well, like how many toilets are required for 80,000 people or how many water tankers should be there and how many escape points should be there," Arun said.
"So, he (CM) has instructed us to make a detailed SOP and all future permissions would be granted only if these amenities are taken care of either by the organisers themselves or by a government agency," he added.
On the negligence on the part of organisers of the Tuesday's satsang, the minister said there were quite a few.
"There was inadequate space for parking and hence a large number of buses were parked on the national highway.
"There should be multiple entry and exit routes and I believe they were only two routes as far as I have seen. So, the organisers could certainly have done better," he said.
He said if it was a smaller gathering or if it was pleasant weather, maybe it would have worked. But yesterday was a sultry day and later it rained.
"I think multiple factors were at play there. We have to improve our processes," he said.
"Whether the government is organising an event or a private person is organising an event, our SOP will be very clear on what kind of basic minimum standards have to be met for us to permit any such events to take place," he added.
In the wake of the stampede, the Hathras police have lodged an FIR in which organisers of the event have been mentioned as accused.
The FIR as well as a preliminary report sent by the sub-divisional magistrate to the district magistrate also mentioned that the crowd swelled at the venue to over 2.50 lakh, much more than the permitted limit of 80,000.
Earlier on Wednesday, Adityanath visited Hathras and met the injured and families of some of the deceased. He also order an inquiry into the matter by a judicial commission headed by a retired high court judge.
