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.
A Bengaluru court has placed four officials from RCB and an event firm in 14-day custody related to a stampede outside Chinnaswamy Stadium on June 4, which killed 11 people and injured 56. The incident occurred during a celebration for RCB’s IPL victory, prompting investigations into safety measures for large events.
