Godman's Lawyer Alleges Stampede Resulted From Conspiracy, Plans To Submit Proof

Toxic substance trigered Hathras stampede claims AP Singh, lawyer of Narayan Sakar Hari. On July 7, the lawyer of self-styled godman Suraj Pal countered the claim of an accident with a conspiracy theory. Advocate AP Singh claimed 15–16 people whose faces were covered sprayed poisonous gas during the 'satsang'. 'Witnesses have reached out to me and said there were 15-16 people carrying cans of a poisonous substance that they opened in the crowd. I have seen post-mortem reports of those killed and it showed that they died of asphyxiation and not because of injuries'. Singh further said that, 'there were vehicles parked at the site to help the men escape we have proof, and we will submit it. Meanwhile, Suraj Pal continues to remain untraceable since the stampede happened on July 2. At least 123 people lost their lives and 18 were injured in the stampede.
