RCB

The investigation has placed direct responsibility on RCB, KSCA, and DNA Entertainment Networks.

The Karnataka Congress government submitted that the crowd was invited by RCB 'unilaterally' and 'without consultation or permission' from the local authorities, to Chinnaswamy Stadium.

"As the Royal Challengers Bangalore team has a large fan following across the country, holding the felicitation at the grand steps of Vidhana Soudha may attract lakhs of cricket fans, potentially creating security challenges due to a shortage of officers/staff in the Vidhana Soudha security wing," DCP Gowda warned.

As reported earlier, the Bengaluru Police have filed a case against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), Karnataka State Cricket Association, and DNA Entertainment over the stampede on Wednesday, June 4, that killed 11 and left 56 injured.

Despite knowing the popularity of RCB in Bengaluru and the significance of the franchise’s first IPL title, the state government grossly underestimated the turnout or perhaps they were not much concerned about the possibility of a stampede-like situation as they were engrossed in encashing the triumphant moment.

A moment of glory turned into a scene of horror—RCB’s first IPL title in 18 years was overshadowed by a deadly stampede during the victory parade, exposing the Congress government’s catastrophic failure in crowd management.

While some RCB supporters urged everyone to unfollow Shankar on Instagram, others lamented why he had to play well against their team.

Throughout this season of IPL, RCB fans have become infamous for their terrible behaviour. Whether it was shouting "Vadapav" at Indian captain Rohit Sharma or trolling and abusing Indian legend Gautam Gambhir, or even trolling the youngster from Afghanistan Naveen-ul-Haq

Some RCB fans accused Shubman Gill of scoring a century to impress his girlfriend and thereby ruining the chances of Virat Kohli's team.
