Between January 13 and February 26, 2025, the world’s largest religious gathering – the MahaKumbh – took place in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. But amid the spiritual fervor, tragedy struck. On January 29, during Mauni Amavasya, a massive stampede occurred. Initially, authorities denied it. Later, they acknowledged 30 deaths in one incident and 7 more in another. But was that the full truth? A new BBC report claims 82 people died in the stampede — 121% more than the government’s official figure of 37. Investigative journalists like Basant from Newslaundry and The Guardian also suggest the actual death toll is much higher. BBC’s reporter Abhinav Goyal met over 100 families across 11 states to verify the names, documents, and compensation records. The report raises serious questions: Why were some families given ₹5 lakh in cash compensation with no official record? Why did the government not count these deaths officially? And why did CM Yogi Adityanath, instead of addressing concerns, label the critics as “vultures”? Even the Allahabad High Court has intervened, demanding transparency and accountability. So, did the government suppress the numbers? Who is responsible for this tragic underreporting? This video investigates the truth behind the MahaKumbh stampede and the silence that followed.
