Overview

  • The Karnataka High Court made public a June 12 status report that holds Royal Challengers Bengaluru, DNA Entertainment and the Karnataka State Cricket Association responsible for the unauthorised victory parade that sparked the June 4 stampede.
  • Despite formal permission being refused by police, RCB’s open social media invitations—including a video appeal by Virat Kohli—and a sudden 3:14 pm announcement requiring passes drew over 300,000 fans without adequate planning.
  • The report highlights that organisers failed to arrange any medical support and proper crowd-control measures, leaving only limited police-deployed facilities to handle the surge.
  • Authorities have registered FIRs, launched magisterial and judicial probes, suspended key police and team officials, and announced compensation for victims’ families.
  • A judicial inquiry is probing the precise sequence of failures and the BCCI has formed a committee to recommend stricter crowd-management and approval protocols for future IPL celebrations.
