At least 123 people died in a stampede at a religious gathering in Hathras, Uttar Pradesh. Two days later, no arrests have been made. Narayana Sakar Hari, the event's leader, is still missing. His lawyer says he will cooperate with the investigation. Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak promises a thorough probe and strict action against those responsible. Autopsies have been completed on 118 bodies, with five remaining unidentified. Twenty people are being treated in hospitals. The investigation report is expected soon. The incident is one of the deadliest stampedes in recent Indian history, and authorities are facing pressure to hold those responsible accountable.
