The entrance and exit of the venue were large enough to accommodate 10 to 20 people at a time, “but after Baba’s car left, thousands of people rushed and followed his car to get a closer look at him,” said Sankalp Gautam, 22, who was with his aunt Kusum Devi, who was injured in the melee and is being treated in hospital.
Devi fell and was crushed by the crowd as she tried to help her sister, who was struggling to stand. Gautam said her sister died in hospital after suffering injuries.
Farmer Lakhan Singh, whose house overlooks the rally, said he sat on his terrace and watched the huge crowds at the rally.
“Baba spoke about how to live well, care for each other and so on, and then started walking out and got in his car,” Singh said, adding that vehicles of the participants caused a traffic jam on the highway.
“People wanted to get to him, they rushed towards his car but his supporters pushed them away,” he said, adding that many people fell down the slope.
