Bengaluru stampede: CAT overturns IPS officer's suspension
After the tragic stampede at Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy Stadium that left 11 people dead, IPS officer Vikash Kumar Vikash was suspended by the Karnataka government.
Now, the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) has reversed that decision, which could also impact other suspended police officials linked to the incident.
TL;DR
Vikash challenged his suspension before the tribunal
Vikash challenged his suspension before the tribunal. His lawyer shared that CAT has restored his job benefits.
The stampede happened during a big RCB victory parade, and the police didn't coordinate well or prepare for the crowd.
This ruling might set a precedent for others facing similar action after the tragedy.
