Karnataka govt blames RCB and KSCA for 'Bengaluru stampede'

The status report on the stampede at the Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru that left 11 people dead has blamed the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), their event management partner M/s DNA Networks Private Ltd, and the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) for unilaterally organising RCB’s massive victory parade and celebration without prior permission or furnishing mandatory



details to city authorities.

The report has been submitted to the High Court, government sources said.

According to the report, at about 6.30 pm, just hours before the IPL final between RCB and Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Ahmedabad, the KSCA, on behalf of DNA Networks Pvt Ltd, submitted a letter of intimation to the Cubbon Park police station.
