Karnataka panel investigates child impact in RCB stampede

India

After a tragic stampede at Bengaluru's Chinnaswamy Stadium during a Royal Challengers Bengaluru event, the Karnataka child rights panel (KSCPCR) is looking into how kids were affected. With 11 people losing their lives—among them a 13-year-old girl named Divyanshi and a teenager named Shiva Linga Swamy—the focus is now on whether children at the event faced injuries or distress, and if enough was done to keep them safe.

Commission wants to know how many children were present

KSCPCR has asked officials for immediate details about how many children were present and what they experienced. The commission wants to hold organizers accountable for any safety lapses and make sure big public events do more to protect young people in the future.
