Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday initiated a judicial investigation into the Hathras stampede while visiting the injured at the religious congregation.

Adityanath hinted at a possible conspiracy and criticized the 'sevadars' (volunteers) for abandoning those in need. He vowed to implement preventive measures to ensure such tragedies are not repeated.

A Special Investigation Team led by ADG Agra has already submitted a preliminary report, and a retired high court judge will oversee the judicial investigation. The FIR has been registered against the event organizers for flouting rules and inadequate traffic management.
