Bengaluru stampede: IPS body demand revocation of suspension of 5 cops

The Indian Police Foundation and a collective of retired senior IPS officers from across the country have come out strongly in support of former Bengaluru police commissioner B Dayananda, who was suspended along with four other officers in the wake of the tragic stampede at Chinnaswamy Stadium that left 11 people dead. In two separate but coordinated open letters, that became public on Monday, addressed to chief minister Siddaramaiah, the signatories — comprising former DGPs, CBI chiefs, NSG heads, and senior bureaucrats — have questioned the rationale behind suspending top police officials before the completion of a judicial inquiry. The letters argued that the responsibility for the June 4 incident lies more with the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) management and the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA), who allegedly insisted on immediate post-victory celebrations despite police warnings. 'It transpires from public statements and available information that the Royal Challengers Bengaluru... wanted a grand celebration of RCB's victory after 18 years in the IPL,' reads the first letter, issued by the Indian Police Foundation on June 8. It cites the police's prior objections to hosting the event just hours after the team's return from Ahmedabad, saying, 'The police officials had conveyed in writing and otherwise about the danger of acceding to the request.' The foundation condemned what it called 'haste' in organising the parade without sufficient crowd control measures. It pointed out that the police, from station-level officers to the Commissioner himself, had flagged serious concerns about preparing for the large turnout expected. A separate letter dated June 3 from the same foundation stressed that suspending officers without waiting for judicial findings would be seen as scapegoating. 'To isolate the police for punitive action, while other stakeholders escape scrutiny, distorts the reality of shared responsibility,' the letter stated, adding that it 'undermines institutional integrity' and could demoralise the police force. The retired officers further criticised what they called the government's tacit support of the event, noting that 'no written directions were given to the police overruling their objections'. They blamed the organisers for going ahead with the parade, offering free passes and encouraging fans to flood the venue despite capacity limitations. In a sharply worded observation, the letter said, 'There is a general impression that the police officers have been victimized while those, whose haste, over-enthusiasm, and reluctance to take a stand, contributed to the tragedy, have managed to get away.' The foundation has called for the reinstatement of all five suspended officers, including Dayananda, pending the outcome of the judicial inquiry, which is expected to conclude within a month. 'Disciplinary action, if warranted, should follow from the findings, and not precede them,' the letters stated. To assist the state government in learning from the incident, the foundation has offered to conduct an independent post-incident review, not aimed at fault-finding but at identifying systemic gaps and improving public safety protocols. The letters have been signed by over 30 decorated former IPS officers and experts, including Prakash Singh (former DGP UP and Assam), RS Mooshahary (former Governor of Meghalaya), and Ajit Doval's former colleagues in central agencies, giving the appeal added weight.

Nicholas Pooran, former West Indies T20I captain, announces shock retirement from international cricket at 29

Nicholas Pooran, a former West Indies T20I captain, stunned the cricket fraternity on Tuesday as he announced his shock retirement from international cricket at the age of 29. The left-handed batter, who was recently seen in action for the Lucknow Super Giants in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season, posted a statement on Instagram confirming his decision. Describing the decision as "difficult", Pooran said that getting the chance to lead the team was a "privilege" for him. Pooran ended his international career after playing 61 T20Is and 106 ODIs and scoring more than 4000 runs across the two formats. It must be mentioned that the batter's call to step away from international cricket comes days after he requested Cricket West Indies (CWI) not to consider him for the white-ball series against England because he wanted some rest. 'After much thought and reflection, I've decided to announce my retirement from international cricket," Pooran wrote on Instagram. A post shared by Nicholas Pooran (@nicholaspooran) Pooran's retirement is a shocker because there are just eight months remaining for the T20 World Cup, which is set to be played in India and Sri Lanka.

James Anderson reacts after ENG-IND series named Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy: 'Don't want to do Sachin a disservice…'

Legendary fast bowler James Anderson expressed gratitude for being linked to the upcoming Test series between England and India. The highest wicket-taking pacer in Test history, Anderson was honoured alongside batting icon Sachin Tendulkar, and the series is set to be renamed in recognition of the two greats. The BCCI and ECB took the big call by deciding to replace the long-standing Pataudi Trophy with the Anderson-Tendulkar trophy ahead of the Test series in England. Anderson and Tendulkar engaged in numerous memorable on-field battles in red-ball cricket, ultimately retiring as legends in their respective disciplines. The English legend was ecstatic to get the honour and shared it with someone like Sachin, whom he said he looked up to while growing up. "It's a huge honour," Anderson told ESPNcricinfo during a DP World event at Lord's. "I still can't quite believe it. Sachin is someone I looked up to when I was growing up, though I don't want to do him a disservice with his age," he added. Anderson heaped praise on Tendulkar and said he is proud of this honour. "I remember watching him, an absolute legend of the game, and I played against him a lot as well. So to have this trophy is a huge honour for me, and I couldn't be more proud," he added. Anderson, fresh off his retirement after an extraordinary 188-Test career, is hailed as England's greatest fast bowler. On the other side stands Sachin Tendulkar, the iconic Indian batter who redefined greatness with 200 Test appearances before calling time on his career in 2013. Until now, the Test series between India and England has had two different names depending on the host nation—the Pataudi Trophy in England, honouring former India captain Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi, and the Anthony de Mello Trophy in India, named after one of the BCCI's founding figures and its first secretary and president. Anderson further discussed playing against India, calling the 2007 Test series win a special moment in his career. "There are some great memories, I always loved playing against India," Anderson said. "I'd say, after the Ashes, it was the series that England look forward to the most. I obviously had some tough times in India, it's a really hard place to go, but we won there which was a really special moment, and some of the battles we had in England were great. They had some amazing players," he added.
