Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The incident, which happened after RCB won their maiden IPL title, led to the death of 11 people and left over 50 injured. The government had asked for the report to remain confidential, but the court said there were 'no legal grounds' to keep it private. It added that the report contained only 'facts as perceived' by the government. The court also asked the government to share the report with all parties involved in the case, including the RCB franchise, Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA), and DNA Entertainment Networks, RCB's event partner. RCB is currently waiting for more clarity from the CID probe. Both the franchise and DNA officials have given their testimonies in the past month. A date for the final judgement has not been announced yet. RCB's IPL Celebration Ends in Tragedy: Stampede Kills 11, Leaves Dozens Injured | WATCH On July 1, the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) made some strong observations about the crowd that gathered outside the stadium. The tribunal noted that RCB's social media posts inviting fans to join the parade after their June 3 win over Punjab Kings (PBKS) drew an estimated 3 to 5 lakh people. The CAT was asked to investigate after Bengaluru (West) IG and Additional Commissioner of Police Vikash Kumar filed a complaint following his dismissal. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had removed Vikash and four other officers, blaming them for 'substantial dereliction of duty' and not taking proper steps to control the crowd. Poll Should the Karnataka government make the stampede report public? Yes, transparency is essential. No, it should remain confidential. The tribunal said the RCB franchise did not seek key regulatory permissions and had 'created a nuisance.' Tired of too many ads? go ad free now These comments were made in a 29-page order issued by CAT. RCB's Chief Marketing Officer Nikhil Sosale, who was arrested and later granted bail, has not commented since. The franchise had announced plans to start an 'RCB Cares' fund to help those affected by the stampede, but there has been no update since June 4 — the day the tragedy occurred.

K'taka HC orders govt to make public disclosure of RCB stampede report
The Karnataka High Court has ordered the state government to publicly disclose its status report on the stampede incident outside the M Chinnaswamy Stadium that occured during the celebrations of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) team's maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) title win. The unfortunate tragedy led to the death of 11 people and left over 50 injured. The state government had requested the High Court to keep the report confidential, but as per ESPNCricinfo, the court on Monday categorically stated that there were no legal grounds for such confidentiality and they were merely "facts as perceived" by the government. The court has also directed the state government to furnish the reports to the other parties involved in the case, the RCB franchise, Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA), DNA Entertainment Networks, the event partner of the Red and Gold franchise. The franchise is however currently awaiting details which will come out after a thorough CID investigation. The team and DNA's top authorities have submitted their testimonies over the past one month. A date for delivery of judgement is yet to be made public. On July 1, the two-member bench of the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), a quasi-judicial body handling matters related to government and public servants, made some key observations about the crowd that gathered outside the team's home base. The CAT noted that the franchise was responsible for drawing a crowd of around three to five lakhs outside the venue to participate in the celebratory victory parade, which was announced by the team on all their social media handles shortly after defeating Punjab Kings (PBKS) to end the 18-year wait for the cup on June 3. The CAT was given a task to investigate the matter after Vikash Kumar, the Inspector General and Additional Commissioner of Police, Bengaluru (West), filed a complaint seeking redressal after his dismissal by Chief Minister Siddharamaiah after the stampede took place. Vikash, along with four other officials, was dismissed on the grounds of "substantial dereliction of duty" and not seeking "guidance" due to which the situation "went out of control". The tribunal also stated that the franchise, which failed to seek important regulatory permissions to carry out the event, had "created a nuisance". All these remarks were made in a 29-page order issued by CAT. RCB's Chief Marketing Officer, Nikhil Sosale, who was arrested and granted bail last month, has not issued any statement since the announcement of increased compensation for families of the dead and support to the ones who sustained injuries. The franchise also saught to form a 'RCB Cares' fund to help out people affected by the tragic stampede. There has been no update on team's social media handles since June 4, the day when the stampede took place.

AIFF keen on 10-year approval to run ISL, undecided on relegation
The ISL, which began with eight teams in 2014, was accorded the top league status in 2019 when a roadmap was agreed by all stakeholders Panaji: The All India Football Federation (AIFF) wants to continue with the Indian Super League (ISL) as the country's top-tier league for the next 10 years but has called for discussions on 'matters of promotion and relegation.' The ISL began as an eight-team, two-month, IPL-style tournament in 2014, but was accorded the top league status in 2019 when a roadmap was agreed by all stakeholders. According to the roadmap, promotion was started from the 2022-23 season with the I-League winners -- Punjab FC first and Mohammedan Sporting Club later – qualifying on sporting merit. The organisers have not implemented relegation. In its official proposal to the marketing partners, AIFF has told FSDL, a joint venture between Reliance and Star which runs the top league, they are ready to issue a '10-year sanction to run ISL with a clear calendar window' and provide 'full commercial freedom' to run the league. 'Matter of promotions and relegations from ISL may be discussed, the principles and impact on AFC Roadmap for Indian football may be considered,' states the proposal titled 'Indian Football Landscape', AIFF Vision for the ISL 2026-2035. TOI has a copy of the proposal which also allows the ISL champions to take the top spot in Asian competitions, while the second spot will be reserved for the I-League winners, a change from the existing system that allows the Super Cup champions to represent the country in continental competitions. For the new Master Rights Agreement (MRA) – where AIFF retains all non-ISL rights including national team competitions -- the federation wants the marketing partners or league owners to make an annual solidarity payments to AIFF game development fund of Rs. 50 crore or 10% of the total league revenue in 2026, whichever is higher, with 5% annual increment. According to minutes of the MRA task force meeting, AIFF wants a 'reliable source of revenue to ensure the effective development of youth and grassroots football, as well as the smooth organisation of competitions across the country.' The proposal has not found favour with the marketing partners, who have suggested formation of a new holding company with clubs (60%), FSDL (26%) and AIFF (14%) as the shareholders. 'In the current system, stakeholders lose approximately Rs 500 crore annually and it makes no sense to continue losing big money,' a source who has been tracking the developments told TOI. 'Business as usual will not be sustainable for anyone. It will only put higher demands on sponsors and there won't be return on investment.' Despite the logjam, AIFF remains confident that it can find a solution to the impasse at a time when the country's top-tier league has been kept on hold due to uncertainty over the 15-year MRA which ends on Dec 8. 'The AIFF cannot act right now because the Supreme Court made an observation (on April 26) that the renewal of the Master Rights Agreement should not be done until its order. We are now waiting the SC order, so that the path becomes clear,' said a senior official. AIFF officials said they have been in touch with their marketing partners since Sept 19 last year, when the then secretary general P Anilkumar first sought a meeting with FSDL. In another letter dated Nov 21, the secretary said 'AIFF would like to engage in a constructive dialogue to explore possibilities for extending or renewing the partnership under mutually beneficial terms and help foster a new era of football development, marketing and popularity of the game in India. ' Since then, three meetings have been held this year between high-ranking AIFF and FSDL officials in Delhi and Mumbai.
