Bengaluru: 

According to the Karnataka Police, an FIR has been filed under Sections 115 (voluntarily causing hurt), 118 (causing grievous hurt by dangerous weapons or means) and 105 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) of Bharatiya Nyaya Samhita (BNS).

A day after 11 people died and several injured in a stampede at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, an FIR has been filed against the managements of Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA), Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and a private event management company - DNA Entertaiment Private Limited - at the jurisdictional Cubbon Park Police Station here.

The stampede took place outside the Stadium when people had gone in large numbers to cheer for RCB, after the franchise lifted its maiden Indian Premier League Trophy. RCB, led by Rajat Patidar, outclassed Punjab Kings in a pulsating summit clash at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Following the stampede, the Karnataka government ordered a probe, while the Karnataka High Court also took a suo-moto cognizance and issued a notice to the Karnataka government.

The opposition BJP slammed the Karnataka government and blamed it for mismanagement. Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had announced an ex-gratia to the kin of the victim.

RCB, in a statement, said that they were united in grief and the incident has caused a lot of anguish and pain to the RCB family and as a mark of respect, they will offer financial support to the 11 families.
