UP constable-turned-baba at centre of Hathras stampede

Before he became a religious preacher, Baba Narayan Hari, aka Saakar Vishwa Hari Bhole Baba, was a constable in the Uttar Pradesh Police. In the police force, his name was Suraj Pal.

Now around 60 years old, Pal quit the police force in the 1990s and established an ashram in his native village of Bahadurnagar in Kasganj district, around 65km from Hathras, the site of Tuesday's stampede that killed at least 121 people. The ashram is spread over 30 acres.
