More than 100 people, including women and children, were killed after a stampede broke out at a 'satsang' (prayer meeting) organised by a self-styled godman, Bhole Baba aka Narayan Saakar Hari, in Uttar Pradesh's Hathras on Tuesday.

He is believed to be at his 'ashram' in Mainpuri, about 100 km from the Phulrai village, where he held the event attended by thousands of devotees. Many senior police officials have reached the Hathras stampede site, while others are at his ashram, the Ram Kutir Charitable Trust.
A committee has been set up to investigate the incident.
President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi have expressed their condolences to the families of the victims.
