The hearing is also going on in the court in this case. On Thursday, the Karnataka High Court heard the case related to the stampede near the Chinnaswamy Cricket Stadium. The court said that we have put our point before the Advocate General. He has filed a status report, which has been taken on record. The registry is directed to register this suo motu cognizance as a suo motu writ petition. The court asked to re-list the petition on Tuesday, June 10.

During the hearing, senior police officials told the court that we would first like to request that there should be no accusation. We only want to present the facts as they happened. We are not taking any adverse view. He said that more than 1000 personnel were deployed to maintain law and order. The stadium has a capacity of 35,000. Usually only 30,000 tickets are sold.

During the hearing, Advocate General Shashi Kiran Shetty said that due to the announcement of free entry to the ceremony, a huge crowd gathered, which led to a stampede-like situation. He clarified that the government does not intend to look at the matter in a confrontational manner, but is trying to understand where the lapses occurred so that such tragedies are not repeated in the future. The Advocate General said that security forces were deployed all over the city, but the situation became uncontrolled outside the Chinnaswamy Stadium. Every person was thinking that he was just one more person going inside, while in reality there was a huge crowd there.
