In a tragic incident, Chandrashekhar, also known as 'Farsa Baba' or 'Farse Wale Baba', was run over by a truck on the Agra-Delhi highway near Mathura. The locals became angry over the death, alleging that 'cow smugglers' ran over the self-styled godman and cow vigilante, and demanded a swift police action.
Police, however, said that another truck rammed into Baba and his disciple, who were on a motor bike, due to low visibility caused by dense fog on the highway.
The supporters, in protest, blocked the highway and also vandalised the police vans.
Authorities confirmed it was a road accident with no cattle involved, and arrests have been made. Strict action will follow against those involved in violence, while a full investigation is underway.
