The Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) sought government approval for RCB’s IPL victory celebration at Vidhana Soudha. Following a deadly stampede, KSCA denied responsibility and filed a petition to quash an FIR against its officials, claiming limited involvement in event management. A court has temporarily protected them from police action.
Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah suspended senior police officials and confirmed arrests of RCB, KSCA, and event managers following a stampede at an IPL celebration that killed 11. A one-man judicial panel led by Justice D’Cunha will investigate the incident, focusing on accountability and safety measures, reporting in 30 days.
