The announcement by the RCB on their official website that free passes would be distributed at the gates for the public is the reason for the gathering of lakhs of people. It was difficult to avert the incident. The police had deputed sufficient officers and cops, initiated all required security measures, and thereby averted a much larger tragedy,' the FIR stated.

The FIR states: 'At 6 p.m. on June 3, Shubendu Ghosh, the Chief Executive Officer of the KSCA, submitted a memorandum to the Police Inspector seeking arrangements for security measures for the victory celebrations at the stadium on June 4. The inspector told him clearly that if RCB wins, the fans will celebrate all night, and security arrangements will have to be made for that. If the KSCA organises another programme the next day, there will be disruption. ' The FIR further stated that RCB, KSCA, and DNA managements, by not providing correct information on passes and free entry to people and fans, created confusion among lakhs of fans that reached the stadium, resulting in pushing and chaos.

"Afterwards, senior officers prepared security measures and sought permission from the Bengaluru Police Commissioner. Police personnel were immediately brought in from all police stations of Bengaluru city, and security was also arranged at the Vidhana Soudha programme to felicitate players,' the FIR mentions.

Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Rohit recalled the struggles made by their parents to support their careers. 'Since the day I was born to now, the support of my mother and father has been immense. I know the sacrifices they've made for me and my brother to do what we needed to do in our lives.

Explained: Why Rohit Sharma retired from Test cricket "But even if I used to get good 30s or 40s or 50s or 60s in Test cricket, he used to talk to me about it in detail. So that's the kind of love he had for the game. "He has obviously seen me go up the ranks. You play age-group cricket, then you pass on to U-19, and then you go to Ranji Trophy, Duleep Trophy, Irani Trophy, India A, and I've done all of that. So he has seen my journey through that. "I have made it to the Indian team, playing red-ball cricket, not so much white-ball cricket, but that's how the team used to get picked. "Back in the day, you do well in red-ball cricket and you find yourself first in ODI cricket and then into Test cricket. Now it's a different story. So my father has seen me playing a lot of cricket with the red ball, obviously. "That's my father, and he has obviously played a huge role in wherever I am today, you know, without their help," he said.
