Sensational disclosure in Bengaluru stampede case: Police asked for time to prepare, RCB management rejected

Bengaluru: The recent stampede incident during the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) event has shocked the entire city. Now a big disclosure has been made in this case. According to sources, the local police had asked the organizers for additional time to prepare for the event, but the RCB management rejected this request.
The situation went out of control due to heavy crowd on the day of the incident, leaving many injured. Police sources said that they had earlier advised the organizers to give more time for crowd management and security arrangements. According to sources, the police had warned the RCB management several times before the event that inadequate preparations could increase the risk.
A senior police officer said on condition of anonymity, "We had clearly told the organizers that more preparations were needed considering the size of the crowd. But the management decided to organize the event in a hurry, ignoring the deadline." There has been no official statement from the RCB management on this matter yet. However, sources say that the management claims that they had taken all the necessary permissions and made tight security arrangements. This incident has once again brought the issue of security and crowd management in big events into the limelight. The local administration has now started an in-depth investigation into the matter and strict action is being taken against the organizers.
