The Bengaluru government has suspended the Police Commissioner and seven other officers following a stampede at a cricket event. RCB's marketing head has been arrested, and a probe headed by a former High Court judge has been ordered. The BJP has criticised the Congress government's actions, while the Congress accuses the BJP of politicising the tragedy. The incident has sparked debate about responsibility and governance in handling public events.
00:00Let me also take you through the details of the very stampede that took place and the action that's been taking place for the last 24 hours.
00:06Hours after the Bengaluru cops booked RCB, Cricket Association and the event organisers under various charges,
00:13which includes culpable homicide, not amounting to murder and negligence.
00:17State government led by Sidra Maya has gone a step further and has suspended the top level police officers, including the CP.
00:24Now, the government has also suspended Commissioner of Police and seven others for negligence and acting irresponsibly.
00:32After making the cops the scapegoat, Sidra Maya government also said that it will go after RCB,
00:38as we now see the entire results panning out and the event organisers as well as the state cricket organisation
00:44and will be arresting their representatives for the tragedy soon.
00:49Now, RCB marketing head Nikhil Sasale has already been arrested
00:52and the cops are also after the Karnataka Cricket Association Secretary Shankar and Treasurer Jairam.
00:59But both of them seem to be absconding at this point of time.
01:03Meanwhile, the government has ordered a separate probe headed by former High Court judge.
01:08One-man commission headed by Justice Michael D. Kuna will submit its report in a month's time.
01:15Now, the Sidra Maya government has also transferred the stampede probe to the CID, is what we are learning.
01:22A few former Bangalore City police commissioners like me had an impromptu telephonic conversation
01:32and were aghast and furious at the action taken by the government in placing Mr. Dayanand,
01:40the incumbent police commissioner, under suspension.
01:43The city and the police personnel of Bangalore City are in shock that how is it that police commissioner can be placed under suspension.
01:54We appeal that this order should be taken back and let sanity prevail and the police commissioner is an extremely trusted officer of the government.
02:05It only indicates that the government itself has failed if the police commissioner is placed under suspension.
02:13Now, viewers, it doesn't end there. Politics over the stadium stampede continues to escalate.
02:19Seamanth Kumar has taken charge as the new commissioner of the Bengaluru City Police.
02:24Now, the BJP has also attacked the Congress Party for making top-level cops the scapegoat.
02:30Leader of Opposition in Karnataka, R. Ashoka, has hit out at the Sidra Maya government,
02:34saying that how can cops who were praised for their job only a few days ago can be suspended with immediate effect?
02:43The BJP has also demanded answers from the Congress' high command on this matter.
02:47However, the Congress Party seems defiant and has accused BJP of playing politics over dead bodies.
02:54The Sidra Maya government has also said that with this incident, Bengaluru's image has taken a hit.
02:59But they're not blaming others. It has also claimed that it will let law take its own course.
03:05Remember, BJP has called the Sidra Maya government heartless and has even accused it of orchestrating the tragedy.
03:11Hitting out at the complete governance failure, it has called for chief minister and deputy chief minister's resignation as well.
03:20These are the politics that has been developing.
