The death toll in the stampede at a religious congregation here rose to 121 on Wednesday with Uttar Pradesh Police registering an FIR against the organisers, accusing them of hiding evidence and flouting conditions with 2.5 lakh people gathering for the event in which only 80,000 were permitted.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is likely to visit the spot near Phulrai village in the Sikandar Rau area where the stampede took place on Tuesday afternoon when a crowd of thousands gathered for a satsang ‘ by religious preacher Bhole Baba.
