Bengaluru Stampede: RCB in major trouble after BCCI Ombudsman orders KSCA, IPL champions to file written submissions
New-crowned Indian Premier League (IPL) champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru have landed in further trouble after BCCI Ombudsman-cum-Ethics Officer Justice (Retd) Arun Mishra directed the franchise, along with the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA), to file written submissions over gross negligence during the team's victory celebrations in Bengaluru, which led to the death of 11 people. The Ombudsman has granted RCB and KSCA four weeks to respond, following an official complaint filed by IPS officer Vikas Kumar. PTI is in possession of a copy of the Ombudsman's directive. The complainant has also urged the Ombudsman to bar the current owners from selling the franchise until the investigation into the tragedy is complete. "Looking at the gravity of the incident, it is considered appropriate that the Karnataka (State) Cricket Association, as well as the concerned franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore be asked to submit their written replied to the complaint," Justice Mishra wrote in his directive. 'This complaint has been filed in relation to the unfortunate stampede at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on 04.06.2025. Complaint alleges gross negligence and violation of safety norms by the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) franchise,' the directive continued. "Complainant submits that accountability must be fixed. Prayer has been made for the suspension of the RCB franchise and for invalidating ongoing sale negotiations." Justice (Retired) Mishra in his directive also mentioned that complainant Kumar would get 10 days time to give a rejoinder to the respondents. 'Let the KSCA and RCB file their respective written replies to the complaint within four weeks, with copy to the complainant as well. Showing cause why the reliefs prayed for and specified in rules be not granted. Rejoinder if any may be filed within 10 days thereafter with copy to the respondents.' One of the possible reasons for seeking a written explanation from RCB could be the growing speculation within IPL circles that the franchise is considering a sale, with the current owners allegedly attempting to distance themselves from the recent tragedy. "Apprehension has been expressed that the franchise may be attempting to distance itself from accountability and possibly offload ownership to avoid potential consequences. In the meantime, status quo be maintained," it stated. Recently the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) also deemed RCB responsible for the massive crowd gathering that led to the death of 11 fans including women and children. The Tribunal had also quashed the Karnataka government's suspension order against senior IPS officer Kumar, who faced the action in the wake of a fatal stampede. Kumar had subsequently challenged the decision of the Karnataka State government.

Bihar Cop Asks Driver's Caste, Assaults Him, Then Makes Him Lick Spit
Last Updated: The incident came to light after the driver informed local MLA Sudarshan Kumar, who then demanded a fair probe into the matter A police officer in Bihar's Sheikhpura district has been suspended after allegedly humiliating an e-rickshaw driver by making him lick his spit after asking about his caste, said officials. The incident took place on Tuesday in Mehus village when Praduman Kumar, the driver, was stopped at a junction after dropping off passengers. According to Kumar, Praveen Chandra Diwakar — the in-charge of Mehus police station—confronted him while in plain clothes, verbally abused him, and later asked him his caste. When Kumar replied, 'Brahmin," Diwakar allegedly responded, 'I don't even like to see people of the Brahmin caste," reported NDTV. The cop then spat on the ground and forced the driver to lick it. Kumar further alleged that he was beaten with a lathi nearly 50 to 60 times before being taken to the police station, where the assault continued. He is currently undergoing treatment at Sheikhpura Sadar Hospital. 'I work hard for my family every day. I can never forget what happened to me. I was beaten up just after asking my caste, made to lick spit. Is this humanity?" Kumar said. The incident came to light after Kumar informed local MLA Sudarshan Kumar, who has demanded a fair and immediate investigation. Residents also called for a case to be registered against the officer. Meanwhile, Diwakar has denied the allegations, claiming they are 'baseless" and alleging the driver was 'teasing girls." First Published: July 02, 2025, 15:56 IST
