Prayagraj – The stampede at Maha Kumbha is suspected not to be an accident but a planned conspiracy. In response, the Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) and other security agencies are closely monitoring around 10,000 suspects. Special attention is being given to individuals actively involved in protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC).

During the investigation, non-Hindu individuals have been identified who were posting negative remarks about Maha Kumbha on social media. Additionally, some individuals had repeatedly searched for Maha Kumbha-related content on Google and YouTube, making them subjects of further inquiry. Authorities are also interrogating members of the Popular Front of India (PFI) from 18 districts.
