As families continue to search for their loved ones in hospitals, the preacher behind Tuesday's overcrowded event has gone missing.
Vinod Kumar, 36, is inconsolable. He's just identified the body of his wife and eight-year-old daughter at the district hospital in Hatras. 'My world has crashed, I can't find my mother, I don't know where she is. I can't even find her body. And no one is telling me anything,' he told Sky News. The family had travelled from their village in Mathura for Tuesday's religious function by preacher Bhole Baba.
They blame the organisers but the administration even more so for not providing emergency arrangements for safety and security at the venue. Permission for a crowd of 80,000 was given by local authorities. But eyewitnesses told Sky News there were around 200,000 at the venue. It became a death trap when the crowds surged towards Bhole Baba who was leaving after the function ended.
