11 people died and 56 others were injured during RCB's IPL victory celebrations on the evening of June 4. The event, organized by the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA), drew massive crowds. In the aftermath, police registered an FIR against the KSCA, RCB, and the event organizers.
According to the petition accessed by NDTV, the KSCA argued that the victory celebration was held on the directive of the Karnataka government. It stated that the event was not independently planned by the cricket body.
Crowd Management Was Not KSCA’s Responsibility - Association
In their petition, the KSCA also stated that they should not be held accountable for the stampede, adding that the responsibility for crowd control and event arrangements lay with RCB, the event organizers, and the police.
The petition stated that the accusations do not connect in any way to the actions of the KSCA office-bearers.
The KSCA Managing Committee Only Oversees the Venue - Association
The petition stated that the KSCA’s role is limited to overseeing cricket operations and managing the Chinnaswamy Stadium as a rental venue, with no involvement in crowd management or public interactions during events. It emphasized that the KSCA does not handle spectators or fans.
Meanwhile, police are searching for KSCA secretary A Shankar and treasurer ES Jairam, who have been missing since the FIR was filed. Earlier, authorities arrested four individuals, including an RCB official, but the two KSCA officials were not found at their residences.
