"RCB Should Be Sued": India World Cup Winner Slams Bengaluru Stampede Mess, Namedrops Virat Kohli
Former Indian cricketer Madan Lal has strongly criticized the poor planning and crowd management during Royal Challengers Bengaluru's (RCB) IPL victory celebrations at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, where a stampede claimed the lives of at least 11 fans and injured several others. After RCB's long-awaited first IPL title win on June 3 in Ahmedabad, the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) had organised a felicitation ceremony in Bengaluru on Wednesday. Thousands of fans gathered outside the Chinnaswamy Stadium, hoping to catch a glimpse of their heroes. However, as the crowd swelled, the situation became unmanageable. Police resorted to a lathi-charge to control the crowd, leading to panic and chaos. Seven people were killed in the resulting stampede, while several others were rushed to Bowring Hospital and Vydehi Superspeciality Hospital for treatment. "People will not forget this —or Virat Kohli. While people were dying outside, there was a celebration inside. It's truly shocking and disheartening. The families of the dead should consider suing RCB and the state government for ₹100 crore for this tragic is also shirking responsibility," former Indian cricketer Madan Lal told IANS. Earlier in the day, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah addressed the media after the incident and announced a compensation of Rs 10 lakh for the family of the dead. Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar defended the arrangements, stating, 'We had arranged for 5,000 police personnel. We couldn't use force on such a young, vibrant crowd.' The authorities have confirmed that the bodies of two persons are at Bowring Hospital and that of four others at Vaidehi Hospital. Six people are being treated in the ICU of the Vaidehi Hospital and three are admitted to the ICU. The government of Karnataka had earlier cancelled the victory parade from Vidhana Soudha to Chinnaswamy Cricket Stadium, citing security reasons.

‘No date for six months': Ashok Gehlot slams BJP govt over delay in Kanhaiya Lal beheading case
Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has criticised the Bhajan Lal Sharma government over the delay in courts in the 2022 beheading of Udaipur tailor Kanhaiya Lal Teli. In a post on X, Gehlot, who was the Rajasthan chief minister at the time of the incident, said that: 'BJP did a lot of politics on the murder of Shri Kanhaiya Lal of Udaipur and made it the main issue of Rajasthan elections. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) took over the case on the very night of the incident. The NIA, an agency under the BJP government at the centre, has this case but even after three years of trial, the culprits have not been punished in a case of such a clear nature'. On June 28, 2022, two people — Mohammad Riyaz and Ghouse Mohammad — had posed as customers and hacked to death Kanhaiya Lal Teli at his shop in Udaipur, over a post shared by him on social media in support of suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma. The BJP leader had made comments about the Prophet during a live television debate. 'The family members of Shri Kanhaiyalal have told that this case is not being run on fast track. This case is pending in NIA court, Jaipur. The additional charge of NIA court was with the judge of CBI court who has been transferred due to which the case is not being heard. There has been no date in the case for the last six months,' Gehlot said. 'Before this, the statements of witnesses were going on but the statements of the three main witnesses have not been recorded yet. Of the accused arrested in this case, two have been granted bail so far,' Gehlot said, referring to Mohammed Javed and Farhad Mohammad Sheikh alias Babla. This month will mark three years since the murder, he wrote. 'Rajasthan police arrested the criminals in just 4 hours. Shri Kanhaiya Lal's family was given Rs 50 lakh as compensation and his two sons were given government jobs. But BJP spread a rumour among the public that only Rs 5 lakh was given as compensation and played politics of five lakhs and fifty lakhs,' Gehlot said. Had the investigation been with the Rajasthan Police and not been taken over by the NIA, 'they probably would have been sentenced during our government's tenure itself but it seems that BJP is only doing politics on this case', he said. 'It does not seem that they have any intention of providing justice to the victims,' the former CM said. However, NIA lawyer Sneh Deep told The Indian Express that 'the delay is on the part of the accused'. He said that the accused have been seeking date after date on various grounds, including the demise of an advocate, seeking time for a new one, and dissatisfaction with the one provided to them. 'The advocate of one of the accused comes from Udaipur. He says that he can't come daily so he needs time between hearings. The NIA wants day-to-day hearing in the case and has filed an application for the same,' he said. In November last year, the Supreme Court had issued notices to the NIA and Mohammed Javed on a petition filed by Teli's son Yash Teli against Javed's bail, given in September, by the Rajasthan High Court. While Javed was accused of conducting a recce, the high court had said that 'prima facie, there is not enough evidence to suggest that the appellant conspired with Riyaz Attari or that the appellant knew Riyaz was going to commit the offence of murder.' Earlier, Farhad Mohammad Sheikh alias Babla, 31 at the time of his arrest in July 2022, was granted bail in September 2023. At least 9 persons were arrested by the state and central agencies in the case.

Protest Turns Violent: Protesters torch ethanol factory's vehicles
Jogulamba Gadwal (Mahabubnagar): A large-scale protest by villagers against the construction of an ethanol factory at Pedda Dhanwada in Rajoli mandal of Jogulamba Gadwal district turned violent on Wednesday. The factory, being set up by Gayatri Renewable Fuels Private Limited with an investment of Rs 190 crore on 30 acres near the banks of the Tungabhadra river, has drawn sharp opposition from residents of 12 surrounding villages who fear it will destroy their agricultural lands and pollute the environment. Tensions flared after police placed several farmers under house arrest the night before and deployed heavy security near the construction site. This was seen as an attempt to suppress the protest, leading to widespread public anger. Early in the morning, hundreds of villagers, including women and elderly, stormed the site upon noticing renewed construction activities. They were enraged to see JCBs operating, tents erected, and a large container installed on the site. In the chaos that followed, the protesters set fire to a container, overturned vehicles, smashed windows of earthmovers, and dismantled temporary structures. The police, caught off guard, struggled to contain the crowd. Meanwhile, Gadwal DSP Mogulayya visited the site and appealed for calm, stating that no one should take the law into their hands and that legal action would be taken if any violations were found. Villagers, however, remain determined to continue their agitation, declaring that they will not allow any polluting industry to destroy their livelihoods. For the past two years, locals have been raising objections through peaceful protests and appeals to the authorities, demanding that the project be halted due to environmental concerns. However, they allege that neither public hearings nor proper consultations were held before granting permission for the factory. Farmers said they were inspired to act after learning about pollution and health hazards caused by similar ethanol factories in Chittalur of Narayanpet district and Parlapalli in Karimnagar. They believe their fertile fields, which produce green crops, will be turned barren if the factory is allowed. Several leaders, including Congress's Sampath Kumar, MLC Challa Venkata Ram Reddy, and local MLA Vijayudu, had earlier extended support to the protest. Officials had suspended the work and promised that construction would not resume without public consent, but recent developments showed otherwise.
