The Karnataka government's status report, submitted to the High Court, reveals that Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) announced a free-entries victory parade from Vidhana Soudha to Chinnaswamy Stadium on June 4—without formally obtaining police permission, merely intimating on June 3, failing mandated 7-day prior approval . The unilateral public invitation on social media drew lakhs unexpectedly, disabling proper crowd control and resulting in a fatal stampede claiming 11 lives. The High Court has mandated full disclosure of the report. Prior judicial findings had already blamed RCB, KSCA, and police for negligence in planning and enforcement. (PC: NDTV)
