'RCB Created Nuisance, Cops Not Magicians': CAT Cancels IPS Officer’s Suspension in Bengaluru Stampede Case

  • On July 1, 2025, the Central Administrative Tribunal quashed senior IPS officer Vikash Kumar Vikash’s suspension and ordered his immediate reinstatement.
  • The tribunal found that RCB failed to obtain police permission for a crowd of three to five lakh, citing insufficient preparation time due to last-minute announcements.
  • The CAT found RCB responsible for the crowd size of three to five lakh, citing lack of permissions and insufficient police preparation before the June 4 stampede.
  • The Karnataka government plans to appeal the CAT ruling, with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah stating an appropriate decision will be made after the High Court petition filed on Wednesday.
  • The Central Administrative Tribunal's decision to revoke Vikash Kumar Vikash's suspension may lead to reinstatement of officers like Bengaluru Police Commissioner Dayananda, indicating broader legal implications.
