A Bengaluru resident filed a complaint with Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot on June 8, accusing Chief Minister Siddaramaiah of personally inviting the public to a celebratory RCB event at M Chinnaswamy Stadium without adequate safety plans, leading to a tragic stampede that killed 11 and injured 56 . Political tensions escalated as BJP leaders demanded Siddaramaiah, Deputy CM Shivakumar, and Home Minister Parameshwara be held accountable and urged their resignations . The CM defended the response, citing suspensions and a CID probe, while announcing enhanced compensation of ₹25 lakh per victim’s family. (PC: ANI)
