@Source: news18.com
Justice Michael Cunha, heading the inquiry commission for the Chinnaswamy Stadium stampede case, submitted a comprehensive report to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on July 11.
The report, presented in two volumes, investigates the tragic incident that occurred during Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s (RCB) IPL victory celebration at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on June 4, resulting in 11 fatalities.
The government decided to table the stampede probe report in the cabinet on Thursday (July 17). “We will decide that,” Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said.
The Chief Minister said, “Michael Cunha has submitted the investigation report on the stampede. The report has been presented in two volumes. I haven’t been able to read the full report yet. The report will be presented at the cabinet meeting on the 17th. We will discuss the recommendations made by the commission and then make a decision.”
On June 5, 2025, the state government constituted the commission to investigate the deaths and injuries that occurred during the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) victory parade at the stadium. A further notification on June 7 extended the term of the commission to allow time for a thorough probe, according to the IANS.
Apart from the judicial inquiry led by Justice D’Cunha, the state government has launched a three-pronged investigation into the incident.
The probe comprises two key components: a magisterial inquiry led by the Deputy Commissioner of Bengaluru City and District Magistrate, and a parallel investigation conducted by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).
Following the government’s directive, the Karnataka Police registered an FIR stating that the RCB franchise, event management firm DNA, and the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) Administrative Committee had organised the event without obtaining proper permissions.
RCB, DNA, and KSCA have contested the allegations in court, arguing that the government is trying to shift the blame for the tragedy, according to a report by the news agency.
