In the wake of the tragic Bengaluru stampede that claimed 11 lives during Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s IPL victory celebrations, the Karnataka government has suspended the city’s police commissioner and several senior officers. CM Siddaramaiah announced a judicial probe led by retired High Court judge Justice Michael D'Cunha. The government has also named RCB, event organiser DNA Entertainment, and the KSCA in an FIR. Officials stated that overcrowding due to unregulated free entry led to the deadly crush outside Chinnaswamy Stadium. Over 30 people were injured, prompting the high court to take suo motu cognisance of the incident.
