The Karnataka government has now made a big statement in the stampede case during the celebration of RCB’s victory at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. During the court hearing, the government clearly attributed the Cricket Control Board of India (BCCI) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) to the incident.

The Karnataka government on Wednesday held the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and the Board of Control for Cricket in Bangalore (RCB) and BCCI (BCCI) for a stampede outside the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Wednesday. 11 people died in this accident. The government told the High Court that no permission was taken for this event and the organizers had called the entire world through social media ‘.

This came to light when the petition of four people was heard in the court, including RCB’s marketing head Nikhil Sosale. These people have challenged their arrest. Hearing of this case, High Court Judge S.R. Krishna is doing a single bench of Kumar.

Advocate General Shashi Kiran Shetty, who appeared on behalf of the state government, said in the court that RCB had won the match against Punjab on 29 May and he knew that he had reached the finals. Despite this, he neither took permission to take out the procession of victory (Victory Parade) nor sought a permission to celebrate in the stadium.

Shetty told- On June 3, just one hour before the match started, the organizers gave a letter to the administration, which wrote that they will “organize” the Victory Parade. That is, they were not asking for permission, just giving information about their plan.

Despite this, RCB made several posts on social media from 11:30 am on the night of June 3 to the morning of June 4, in which the fans were called to attend the Victory Parade and Selibration.

4 lakh people reached outside the stadium
The Advocate General said in the court- it seemed as if he had called the whole world. He said that about 3.5 to 4 lakh people reached outside the stadium, while the stadium had a capacity of only 33,000 people. He also said that the organizers never told who will be allowed inside. It was only written in his social media posts that all the fans should come and cheer for the team.

The government said who was responsible for handling the crowd?
The government told the court that there was an agreement between RCB and BCCI regarding gate management, ticketing and security, according to which the entire responsibility to handle the crowd was for the franchise and the cricket board. It was earlier said that for this event, three parties had reached an agreement with DNA Entertainment Company and KSCA, but in the court it was misunderstood and improved.

RCB printed the truth in the case
Advocate General said that RCB tried to hide the truth and introduced this event as a government program, while it was a completely private event. He told that RCB spoke of free pass on social media, but it was not clear who will be allowed inside and who is not. He said in court, “RCB has come to court with wrong information and has tried to mislead it.”

CID will investigate the Bangalore stampede case
The government also informed that the investigation of this matter has now been handed over to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID). He said that the time of investigation transfer is not important because the High Court was informed about it on time. After the stampede incident, many police officers were suspended and new appointments were made immediately, including a new police commissioner. The court is now investigating the files related to his appointment.

RCB’s marketing heads were trying to escape
The government also alleged that RCB’s marketing head Nikhil Sosale was trying to escape. He told that a flight ticket was booked at 10:56 pm and the next morning flight was to be taken. The Advocate General said, “There is no doubt.”

During the hearing, the RCB lawyer argued that the employees cannot be convicted only because the company is an accused. He said that under the Indian Justice Code (BNS), the employees cannot be directly responsible, until they are directly mistaken.

Judge S.R. Krishna Kumar assured the Advocate General that the court would not trust any one statement. He said-Any person can be coated in a wrong way, I will not give bail on the basis of just a statement.
