A stampede erupted in the midst of a large crowd
Let us explain that Mangala Aarti is the first aarti performed in the morning at Mathura’s Banke Bihari temple, around 3-4 o’clock. On Friday, a large number of devotees arrived at the temple throughout the day to have darshan. Even during Mangala Aarti, there was a large crowd in the temple. Meanwhile, there was a sudden stampede.
Akhilesh Yadav claims fraud
Concerning the Mathura incident, Akhilesh Yadav retweeted a tweet from the Samajwadi Party Media Cell alleging a 27-crore scam in the Mathura Development Council. The devotees are not provided with any facilities. Vrindavan’s Banke Bihari temple is always crowded with devotees from all over the country and abroad.
According to City Magistrate Saurabh Dubey, the victims of the accident have been identified as Nirmala Devi, a resident of Noida Sector-99, and Ram Prasad Vishwakarma, a resident of Rukmani Bihar Colony. He stated that the relatives refused to conduct a postmortem on the dead bodies and returned home with them on Saturday morning.
Everything is under control now
According to Dubey, a large police force was present at the time of the stampede in the temple, including District Magistrate Navneet Singh Chahal, Senior Superintendent of Police Abhishek Yadav, and Municipal Commissioner Anunay Jha.
He claimed that as soon as the stampede began, police and private security personnel began evacuating devotees from the temple. The devotees who were injured in the accident have been admitted to Vrindavan’s Ramakrishna Seva Mission, Braj Health Care, and Sau Shaiya Hospital.
According to Dubey, the situation in the temple is now completely normal, and devotees are freely visiting.
