BHOPAL: A 50-year-old man from Uttar Pradesh allegedly died when a tent collapsed amid heavy rains and blustery winds at the famous Lord Hanuman shrine, Bageshwar Dham, in Chhatarpur district of Madhya Pradesh early on Thursday morning.The incident, which also left seven devotees injured, most of them from outside Madhya Pradesh, including Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, occurred during preparations for the Friday birthday celebrations of the shrine’s Peethadhishwar and Hindu Rashtra-supporter, religious preacher Dhirendra Krishna Shastri, also known as ‘Bageshwar Dham Sarkar’.“The mishap happened on Thursday morning amid continuous heavy rains coupled with blustery winds, leading to the collapse of the tent. One devotee died in the mishap, possibly after suffering a head injury due to the caving in of one of the iron pillars which supported the tent. Some other devotees, mostly from outside MP, suffered injuries, but all are out of danger. An autopsy of the deceased man, who hails from UP, is being conducted,” Jain said.
