**RCB Celebration Incident: Third FIR Filed After Stampede**
A third First Information Report (FIR) has been lodged at the Cubbon Park Police Station in connection with the tragic stampede that occurred during the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) victory celebrations at M Chinnaswamy Stadium on June 4, which resulted in 11 fatalities. The latest complaint was filed by C. Venu, a college student who sustained a severe leg injury when a barricade collapsed amid the chaos caused by the overwhelming crowd near Gate No. 6.
In his FIR, Venu accused RCB, the event organizer DNA Entertainment Private Limited, and the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) of failing to manage the crowd effectively and lacking adequate safety measures. He pointed out that misleading information circulating on social media suggested that entry was permitted without tickets, which attracted thousands of fans to the venue.
The police have confirmed that this complaint is part of an ongoing investigation into the stampede incident. Earlier, a 25-year-old survivor of the stampede also filed a police complaint, holding RCB, KSCA, and DNA accountable for the incident. The survivor, a designer from Rajarajeshwari Nagar employed at VP India Company, suffered a dislocated shoulder during the crowd surge near Gate No. 17.
In his report, the survivor emphasized that the stampede was a result of “negligence and poor planning” by the event organizers and stadium authorities, alleging that large crowds were allowed entry without proper ticketing or crowd control measures. In response to the incident, Bengaluru police have initiated a suo motu case against the three entities under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
As investigations continue, the focus remains on ensuring accountability and improving safety measures for future events to prevent such tragedies from occurring again.
