Bhati was originally from Bulandshahr, although he resided in the Greater Noida neighbourhood of Chi. Bhati, a member of the Gujar ethnic group, was popular on Facebook and Instagram, where he posted videos and had thousands of followers.

Mr Kumar stated, “One of the injured is being treated at the Government Institute of Medical Sciences (GIMS) in Greater Noida, while the other has been referred to Delhi in view of the serious condition,”

Shortly after the news of Bhati’s death emerged, numerous of his supporters shared reels and videos of his final rites as tributes.
