Bengaluru stampede victim lodges complaint against RCB, KSCA, and DNA Agency

The Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA), Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), and the DNA Agency have all been charged with inadequate event management by Rolan Gomes, who survived the tragic Bengaluru stampede disaster and filed a First Information Report (FIR) at the Cubbon Park Police Station. Eleven individuals were killed and more than forty others were injured, and the 25-year-old blamed the three agencies for the incidents.

Prior to Gomes, the same three agencies were the subject of another FIR, which resulted in the arrest of four DNA Entertainment Private Limited officials for their role in event planning. In this respect, Bengaluru Police and the Crime Branch carried out a coordinated operation. The case’s hearing has been postponed until June 16.

The Bengaluru Police have been instructed by the Karnataka High Court to refrain from taking any action against the KSCA members. Board President Raghuram Bhat, Secretary A Shankar, and Treasurer ES Jayaram asked the High Court to think about not taking any action against them.

The city police commissioner and the state’s political secretary were suspended.

After hearing the KSCA officers’ argument, Justice S R Krishna Kumar gave them temporary reprieve. Police officers have already been subject to action, including City Police Commissioner B Dayananda, who was held accountable for the lack of safety. The City Police Commissioner has been replaced by Seemant Kumar Singh.

Additionally, Karnataka Chief Minister S Siddaramaiah’s Political Secretary, K Govindaraj, an MLC, was fired with immediate effect.

The city’s administrative structure and individuals in charge of managing the event have been clearly rocked by the Bengaluru stampede tragedy.

Around the world, jubilation broke out when RCB defeated Punjab Kings in the final to win their first title. The official RCB account confirmed the win celebrations on social media. Rain caused a cement structure outside the stadium to collapse, though, which sent supporters into a frenzy and ultimately resulted in the terrible rush.
