The Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), Bangalore Bench, on Tuesday ruled that the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) cricket team is prima facie responsible for the stampede that occurred near Chinnaswamy Stadium, which claimed 11 lives during the team’s IPL 2025 victory celebration.
The Tribunal also quashed the suspension of Bengaluru Police Commissioner Vikash Kumar Vikash, who had been held accountable in the immediate aftermath of the tragedy.
Police Not Given Time To Prepare: CAT
In its order, the CAT bench comprising Judicial Member Justice B K Shrivastava and Administrative Member Santosh Mehra stated that the police were not afforded adequate time to prepare for crowd management due to the sudden announcement of the event by the RCB team.
“Police is not magician, can't be expected to manage huge crowds if not given sufficient time to make arrangements,” the bench noted.
The Tribunal observed that the RCB team had “suddenly posted” information about the victory event on social media platforms without securing prior permission from local authorities.
