In the Bengaluru stampede case, the police have so far arrested the marketing head of RCB and 3 employees of the event management company. The court has sent all four accused to 14 days of judicial custody. At the same time, CM Siddaramaiah has removed his political advisor K. Govindaraj from the post. According to sources, Govindaraj had advised the CM to attend the event.

KSCA secretary and treasurer resigned

At the same time, the secretary and treasurer of the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) have resigned over the stampede in the stadium. The names of these two officials who resigned from their posts are A Shankar and ES Jayaram.

Sources told the reason for removal of Govindaraj?

According to sources, in a meeting held at the Chief Minister's residence a few hours before the stampede on Wednesday morning, Govindaraj had insisted on allowing RCB's function and felicitation ceremony. He also advised the Chief Minister to attend the felicitation ceremony organized in the Legislative Assembly. However, later the CM's political advisor gave some other information to the media. According to sources, it was said that this duplicity upset CM Siddaramaiah and in such a situation, political advisor Govindaraj was removed from the post.

Action of Siddaramaiah government

The Karnataka government's action against officials continues. Bengaluru ADGP Intelligence Hemant M Nimbalkar has been transferred on charges of intelligence failure. The third FIR has been registered in the Bengaluru Chinnaswamy Stadium stampede case. 21-year-old Venu, who was injured in the stampede, has filed a complaint against RCB, event company DNA and Karnataka Cricket Association.

Misleading information about free entry to the stadium was given on social media. 11 people died during the stampede at Chinnaswamy Stadium during the victory program of IPL team RCB. Many people were seriously injured.
