In the aftermath of the Bengaluru stampede that killed 11 during RCB’s IPL victory event, Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah sacked his political secretary Govindraju, who allegedly pushed for the Vidhana Soudha celebration. The state also suspended multiple top police officials, including Bengaluru’s police commissioner. FIRs have been filed against RCB, the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA), and the event organisers. A political storm is brewing, with the BJP accusing the Congress-led government of scapegoating the police and acting only under public pressure. CM Siddaramaiah defended his response, claiming action was taken against officials who were visibly negligent in their duties. (PC: News18)
