A complaint has been registered against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) star Virat Kohli at Cubbon Park Police Station. This comes after a deadly stampede that occurred outside Chinnaswamy Stadium on June 4. H.M.
Venkatesh, a senior social activist, has registered the complaint against the former Indian Test captain. The police have assured him that the letter will be taken into consideration and the FIR already filed regarding the stampede.
Police Denied RCB Bus Parade Permission The stampede that took place immediately following RCB’s IPL title celebration caused the lives of 11 people and injured many others as RCB won by a margin of 6 runs over Punjab Kings for the rights to lay claim to their first IPL trophy after a 16-year wait.
On Friday Morning police made an arrest of Nikhil Sosale on Friday morning who is the marketing head of the IPL 2025 champions. The planned trophy parade was cancelled as the Bengaluru police issued the directive for people to steer clear of roads surrounding Vidhana Soudha and Chinnaswamy Stadium from 3 PM to 8 PM.
Police Had Registered A FIR Following Bengaluru Stampede
Karnataka’s Chief Minister Siddaramaiah accepted the very large congregation of people outside the stadium when they had not anticipated a crowd of that size. Police have already registered an FIR against RCB, the event management company and the Karnataka State Cricket Association in this case.
The KSCA denied responsibility for the event and went to the High Court in order to quash the FIR. Social media was full of videos showing people gasping for breath as the crowd lost control. The police have already opened an investigation and will attempt to figure out how the common celebration turned into a horrific event.
There was not much communication from RCB organization on how this celebration was going to take place and this may have partly contributed to the tasteless incident that occurred on June 4. There have been suspensions of various senior police officers, including Bengaluru Police Commissioner B Dayananda, and there is a judicial commission in place, which will look into the incident.
