AGRA: Samajwadi Party chief

Akhilesh Yadav

on Saturday accused the

UP govt

of trying to hide its

failure

in the

Hathras stampede

that killed 121 people by making "

minor arrests

". He questioned the way action was being taken against "innocent people" and demanded a judicial probe on the way arrests were being made. He said these arrests are a "conspiracy in themselves".
Akhilesh Yadav, in a post on his social media handle, said, "It looks like such accidents will continue to happen since the state govt does not seem to have learnt from the administrative lapses that led to the stampede."
