Bengaluru Stampede: RCB owner moves Karnataka HC seeking to quash criminal case against team
- Eleven persons died in a stampede outside M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on June 4, 2025, during Royal Challengers Bengaluru's IPL victory celebration.
- The stampede resulted from a delayed opening of stadium gates from the scheduled 1:45 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., causing a crowd surge amid inadequate police crowd management.
- On June 9, Royal Challengers Sports Limited and the event organiser DNA Entertainment Networks each submitted individual petitions to challenge the criminal cases registered against them following the incident.
- The court heard the matter and scheduled further hearings for June 10, with Karnataka Advocate General stating probe findings will remain confidential during ongoing judicial inquiry.
- This legal challenge and inquiry may influence accountability assignments, as arrests and suspensions have occurred but the full impact remains under judicial review.
