The stampede occurred after a satsang conducted by preacher Narayan Sakaar Hari, also known as 'Bhole Baba', resulting in the deaths of 121 people, predominantly women, and injuring 31 others.
Aligarh Inspector General Shalabh Mathur confirmed the arrests, stating that the individuals apprehended, including four men and two women, had roles as 'Sevadars' in organizing the event.
The main accused identified in the FIR is 'Mukhya sevadar' Dev Prakash Madhukar, for whom the police have announced a reward of Rs 1 lakh for information leading to his arrest. Efforts are underway to secure a Non-Bailable Warrant (NBW) for Madhukar.
