Uttar Pradesh police fail to find 'baba' who held Hathras satsang that claimed lives of 116

The congregation that was responsible for the deaths in Hathras was around Baba Narayan Hari alias Saakar Vishwa Hari 'Bhole Baba', a former policeman who turned into a religious preacher and gained a following, especially in western Uttar Pradesh. Known as Surajpal before he took up the 'baba' moniker, the preacher is a native of Bahadur Nagar in Kasganj district.
