After the Hathras stampede that catapulted Narayan Saakar Hari, also known as Bhole Baba, into the limelight, many are questioning his reclusive lifestyle. Known for avoiding social media, Bhole Baba did not allow mobile phones at his sermons and placed a strict ban on recordings. His ashram, set on multi-million acres along the GT Road, remains hidden from the public eye, yet equipped with every conceivable luxury.
It's surprising that the Baba, who moves with his own private security and a convoy of cars, has no CCTV surveillance at his ashram. There are no cameras at the gates or the perimeter, leading to speculation about what he might be hiding.

The absence of CCTV in this secluded mansion raises many questions. Why does Baba avoid the surveillance? Is it to keep the ashram’s visitors out of sight, or is there something within the walls he doesn't wish to expose to the world?

When Did Surajpal Disappear After the Incident?
Baba vanished at 1:40 PM from the scene. Before disappearing, he had a phone conversation with the main accused, Dev Prakash Madhukar. By 4:35 PM, Baba's phone was switched off. His and Madhukar's current whereabouts are unknown to the police.
Devotees Continue to Visit Baba's Ashram
Despite awareness of the Hathras catastrophe, Baba's disciples maintain their faith in him. A congregation of media and police gathered at Baba's ashram in Bichhwa, Mainpuri, where devotees from far as Faridabad came seeking blessings. One disciple, Premchand, insisted they were there to stop people from meeting Baba during the Hathras satsang. Although Premchand never took Baba's 'holy dust' himself, he believes that the faith of those who do is a testament to their devotion.

Followers like Premchand claim that the vast wealth and the opulent ashram in Mainpuri came from donations by devotees. Baba reportedly lives on his pension and refuses money. When asked about his amassed wealth, Premchand credits it to devotees' voluntary contributions, underscoring their unyielding faith, even to the point of losing their lives in the pursuit of spiritual proximity.
