Case Filed Against RCB, Karnataka Cricket Body Over Bengaluru Stampede Deaths
The Bengaluru Police have filed a case on their own (suo moto) against RCB, the state cricket body, and DNA Entertainment over the stampede on Wednesday that killed 11 and left dozens injured. DNA Entertainment managed the RCB's IPL victory celebrations, while the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) organised the event, according to the state government.
The police have handed over the case to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).
Apart from the first information report (FIR), the district magistrate G Jagadeesha, who was appointed by the Karnataka government to investigate the incident, today said notices will also be sent to the KSCA, the Bengaluru Metro, and the RCB franchise.
Mr Jagadeesha visited Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru today and inspected the gates where crowding had happened before the situation worsened into a stampede.
"I started working on it [investigation] from today itself," Mr Jagadeesha told reporters.
The report has to be submitted to the state government within 15 days.
The district magistrate said he will analyse CCTV footage and other visuals from the area at the time the incident happened, for which he will ask families of those who were killed and injured for their statements.
The general public can also give their statements between 10.30 am and 1.30 pm on June 13, the district magistrate said. A list of policemen who were deployed during the RCB's IPL victory celebration will be made and they will be asked to give their statements, he added.

Dayananda won't return as Bengaluru police chief, says home minister Parameshwara
Bengaluru: Home minister G Parameshwara ruled out reinstating B Dayananda as Bengaluru city police commissioner, insisting that although his suspension has been revoked following a cabinet decision, he will not return to his previous post. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "The govt will assign him a post equivalent to his cadre," Parameshwara said. Dayananda was among five senior police officers who were suspended following the June 4 stampede during RCB's IPL victory celebrations at M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Eleven people died in the incident. While the govt rolled back the suspension of four of them, the suspension of additional commissioner (west) Vikash Kumar Vikash remains in effect. Parameshwara said the decision to revoke the suspension was in line with administrative procedures and not a rollback of accountability. "The departmental inquiry will continue," he said. On the lone officer still under suspension, he said, "Since the officer approached CAT (Central Administrative Tribunal), this opportunity was not available. If CAT directs the govt to revoke the suspension like other officers in the incident, then it will be considered." He added that the revocation does not weaken the govt's stand on the incident. "It is not a setback as it was a govt decision," he said. 'Police will act on Ramya's complaint' Parameshwara said police will act on a complaint filed by actor-politician Ramya against fans of actor Darshan, who allegedly issued threats to her. "Such incidents should not happen in future. Today it is Ramya, tomorrow it could be someone else. Somewhere a full stop must be put to such things," he said. Parameshwara added that the police commissioner would issue directions to officials and that he too would ensure such incidents don't recur. Ramya had met commissioner Seemant Kumar Singh Monday and filed a complaint.
