The Maharana denied having issued any orders whatsoever to perform the Mukatkundal ceremony which was performed on the Akshaya Tritiya day and which was the immediate cause of the tragedy. The Maharana further said that on receiving information of the likelihood of disturbance he had sent written orders to the Hakim at Deosthan to postpone the ceremony before the tragedy took place.
