Bengaluru stampede: IAS officers investigated for RCB event
A government probe is underway after a stampede outside Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy Stadium left 11 people dead during an RCB team event. Two senior IAS officers are being investigated for allegedly pushing to hold a big state felicitation, even though police had warned about crowd and safety risks.
TL;DR
Event announced without proper police clearance
The event was announced without proper police clearance, and complaints have been filed against RCB, the stadium authority, and the event manager. Several officials—including three IPS officers—have been suspended or dismissed for their roles. The investigation is still ongoing to figure out exactly how things went so wrong.
