The Bengaluru stampede incident continues to unfold with each passing day. After 11 people lost their lives in the chaos outside the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, the Royal Challengers Bangalore team, along with three other parties, faced an FIR. Now, the RCB team has knocked on the doors of the high court. Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has stated that the incident outside the stadium was unfortunate and not their responsibility.
According to a report in Live Law, the petition claims that the Royal Challengers Bangalore had announced the victory parade only after consultations with the Karnataka State Cricket Association, DNA Networks, and police officials. The petition also states that RCB’s social media posts clearly mentioned that only those who had registered on the team’s official website would be allowed inside the stadium.
It’s also been revealed that on the morning of June 4, the RCB team was verbally informed that the Bengaluru police had canceled the victory parade. They were told that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah was planning to honor the team at the Vidhana Soudha instead.
The question remains: who is responsible for the tragic incident? The DNA Entertainment Networks, one of the parties facing an FIR, has argued that the state police’s negligence led to the massive accident. As the case unfolds, the focus is on determining the accountability of the parties involved.
Key points to consider:
- The RCB team had announced the victory parade after discussions with relevant parties.
- Only registered fans were supposed to be allowed inside the stadium.
- The police had canceled the victory parade, and an alternative plan was being made.
- The DNA Entertainment Networks blame the state police for the incident.
The investigation is ongoing, and the high court’s decision will be crucial in determining the course of action. The incident has raised questions about crowd management and security measures at public events. As the probe continues, it’s essential to examine the events leading up to the tragic incident and identify the responsible parties.
