A stampede-like situation was witnessed at Bageshwar Dham Dhirendra Shastri's court in Greated Noida on Wednesday in which several people fainted while an elderly woman suffered serious injuries.

The incident took place at Jaitpur where Dhirendra Shastri addressed a crowd of lakhs in his divine court.

Visuals of the stampede show several people stuck in the court even as police deployed at the venue struggled to control the massive crowd.

Bouncers placed at the event were also seen hitting the devotees which left several people injured.

Bageshwar Dham's twitter handle however, proudly claimed that they broke all records with the large crowd in attendance at the event.

They also revealed that around 5-6 lakh people were present at the venue.

"All the records of the crowd of Delhi and NCR were destroyed…about five to six lakh people together…that too in a religious event…that is why they say yes, my country and society is changing," the tweet read in Hindi.

It is also being reported that entry was being done through a small gate through the VIP pass.

It is here that some people received information about electrocution from the electric wire.

Cops say nothing untoward happened at event

UP Police meanwhile, denied all reports of a stampede or lack of crowd control as they claimed that enough personnel were deployed at the venue to bring the situation under control.

Cops even denied anyone getting injured at the event even though there are multiple videos and pictures of the stampede and chaos doing the rounds on social media.
