Families of stampede victims receive compensation as they mourn their loved ones
'My brother will not come back no matter how much compensation anyone gives. If there was a possibility of my returning, then we would pay the money ourselves,' said Sridhar K.T., brother of Shravan K.T., 20, who was one of the 11 people who died on June 4 in a stampede that occurred during the IPL victory celebrations of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) team. On Sunday, the Karnataka government distributed compensation of ₹25 lakh each to the families of the victims, a majority of them under 25 years of age. The families broke down while receiving their cheques and said that the compensation meant nothing to them as the lives of their young ones were lost. 'We are an agricultural family, and my brother was studying to become a dentist. We had a lot of hopes for his future. Even though we have money now, we cannot see his future anymore,' Mr. Sridhar said, heartbroken. K. Karunakar Shetty, the father of another victim, Chinmayi Shetty, 19, said that he was in his hometown in Udupi district to perform certain rituals for his daughter. 'While I am here, the tahashildar went to my house in Bengaluru and informed that the Deputy Commissioner will visit and issue compensation on Tuesday. But what do we do with the money? My daughter did not even like cricket and by some cruel twist of fate, she ended up there,' he said. The State government, which had earlier announced compensation of ₹10 lakh, later raised it to ₹25 lakh following severe public backlash. Many fans are now demanding that the RCB management, which has also announced compensation of ₹10 lakh per victim should increase it and players should also volunteer to help the families of the victims. However, Mr. Sridhar said, 'I see that many people are blaming even the players of RCB for what happened. That should not be the case as they had nothing to do with it. We do not want any compensation from anyone. I wish that all the stakeholders learn from this and next time when there is a big event, they arrange it much carefully with all the necessary security and emergency medical services.'

Karnataka HC adjourns RCB plea against stampede case, state agrees not to take coercive action
A single-judge bench of the Karnataka High Court has adjourned to Wednesday a plea filed by the Royal Challengers Sports Limited, the owners of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru cricket team, for the quashing of an FIR registered against unnamed team officials in a case of culpable homicide over the death of 11 fans in a stampede on June 3. Justice S R Krishna Kumar adjourned the pleas of the RCB management, as well the owners of the DNA Entertainment Networks Pvt Ltd, an event management firm, to allow the state government to file objections to the pleas. The HC noted a 'gentleman's understanding' between the advocates for the state and the lawyers of the petitioners that the Karnataka police will not take any coercive action against officials of the two firms in the form of arrest until Wednesday and that the officials of the two firms will not attempt to leave the country. The HC, meanwhile, adjourned to Tuesday the hearing of bail pleas filed by Nikhil Sosale, marketing head at RCB, and Sunil Mathew, a vice-president at the DNA Networks, who were arrested on June 6 in connection with an FIR filed by the Cubbon Park police in central Bengaluru against RCB, DNA and the state cricket association over the June 3 stampede. Eleven people were killed in the stampede at the M Chinnaswamy cricket stadium in Bengaluru on June 3, which occurred around a victory celebration organised for the IPL-winning RCB team at the stadium operated by the Karnataka State Cricket Association. The event was managed and organised by DNA Network. The police have alleged that the stampede occurred due to open invitations issued to RCB fans on social media by the private cricket club for a victory parade without obtaining clearances for the event from the Bengaluru police as mandated. During the arguments on Monday, senior counsel Sandesh Chouta, appearing on behalf of Nikhil Sosale, said the arrest of the RCB marketing executive was vitiated in law since no arrest intimation was provided at the time of his detention and that the arrest was made by the Bengaluru Central Crime Branch police despite the case filed by the Cubbon Park police being transferred to the CID of the Karnataka police. The advocate for Sosale also argued that the arrests by the Bengaluru police were carried out on the basis of an order of the Karnataka chief minister, which was also stated by Siddaramaiah at a press conference–and not on the basis of investigations. Advocate-General K M Shashikiran Shetty argued that RCB had declared on June 3 itself in Ahmedabad, where the IPL finals was held, that there would be victory celebrations in Bengaluru and that social media messages were put out at 7 am on June 4 by RCB about a victory parade in Bengaluru, without obtaining permissions from the Bengaluru police. 'A Rs 1,000-crore company (RCB) with an annual revenue of Rs 450 crore has announced a compensation payment of just Rs 10 lakh for the victims,' he said. The HC adjourned the hearing on the pleas by Sosale and Mathew to June 10 after the advocate-general sought time to respond to arguments that the arrests in the case were carried out by the Bengaluru police even after the case was transferred to the CID. Last week, the Karnataka HC bench of Justice S R Krishna Kumar granted protection from arrest until June 16 to officials of the Karnataka State Cricket Association, including president Raghuram Bhat. The KSCA is named in the cricket stadium stampede FIR along with RCB and DNA. On Friday the Karnataka HC granted conditional interim protection from arrest to three KSCA officials, including its president Raghuram Bhat, a former cricketer, in the stampede case. The KSCA officials have claimed in their HC petition that officials of the event management firm DNA held a meeting with the Bengaluru police on June 3 for holding a celebration event for RCB at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in the event of RCB winning the IPL finals. The KSCA has said that IPL events are held at the stadium by RCB with event managers DNA Networks. The bench of Justice S R Krishna Kumar said while posting the case to June 16 that 'by way of an interim arrangement and without prejudice to the rights and contentions of the parties, the respondents are directed not to take any precipitative / coercive steps'. A division bench of the HC headed by acting Chief Justice V Kameswar Rao is due to hear a suo motu public interest petition on the stadium stampede deaths on Tuesday. Last week the division bench posed nine questions to the Karnataka government including 'When and who has taken the decision to hold the victory celebration and in what manner?'

Taking to Instagram stories today (June 9), Neha Dhupia opened up about work-life balance and how new mothers are sidelined. She wrote, 'For work-life balance to go beyond conversations, new moms need practical support and consideration. instead, we often get shamed or sidelined.' Voicing her support for Deepika Padukone, she added, 'As a working mom, I support @deepikapadukone 's reasonable request for fair and considerate working hours.' Earlier, in an interview with News 18, filmmaker Mani Ratnam came in support of Deepika Padukone and called it a rightful demand. He also shared being happy for the actress to be in a position to ask for it. He spoke on behalf of filmmakers in general and stated that such considerations will always play a role during casting. Mani also highlighted that Deepika's request wasn't unreasonable but rather a necessity. He stressed the importance of acknowledging and accommodating such needs, especially when it comes to balancing personal responsibilities with professional commitments. For the unversed, Deepika Padukone was reportedly impressed with the storyline of Spirit and the way her character was developed. She soon agreed to join the film. However, things didn't go as planned and she had to exit the movie. As per reports, she demanded Rs 40 crore fees from the makers but they had the budget of Rs 20 crore for her.
