Devprakash Madhukar, the key accused in the July 2 stampede at a satsang in Hathras, was on Saturday sent to 14-day judicial custody along with another suspect, Sanju Yadav, said officials. Madhukar is the aide of self-styled godman Surajpal alias Narayan Sakar Hari alias Bhole Baba, at whose satsang the stampede occurred, leaving 121 people—mostly women—dead. Bhole Baba is currently untraceable.
Earlier in the day, Hathras Superintendent of Police Nipun Agarwal told reporters that the police would move court to get custody of Madhukar, as well as the other suspects.“Madhukar and Yadav were produced before the judicial magistrate’s court today and were sent in judicial remand for 14 days,” assistant prosecution officer Uma Shankar Yadav said, adding that a third suspect, Ramprakash Shakya, would be produced in the court on Sunday since some formalities were pending post his arrest.
