Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, under attack from the BJP over yesterday's stampede in Bengaluru that claimed 11 lives, said today that his government has suspended top police officers involved. The police commissioner and his deputy have been suspended and the next step will be against the Royal Challengers Bangalore or RCB, the Karnataka State Cricket Association and their publicist DNA Entertainment, Mr Siddaramaiah told the media this evening.
The RCB had apparently disregarded police advice to allow a few more days to prepare for the felicitation ceremony.
