Bengaluru stampede: IPS officer challenges suspension order
Bengaluru: Suspended IPS officer Vikash Kumar Vikash Monday moved the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), challenging the govt's order suspending him for dereliction of duty. Vikash is one of the five officers suspended. The suspension order, citing Rule 3(1)(a) of the All India Services (Discipline & Appeal) Rules, 1969, alleged that Vikash, along with other officers, failed to take adequate crowd-control and safety measures despite prior knowledge of the celebrations. However, it doesn't specify the exact role, negligence or wilful misconduct attributable to him. The order highlighted the fact there wasn't enough time to prepare for such a huge event, but was silent on how the tragedy could be attributed to Vikash and the other officers. The applicant stated in his application that he has been made a scapegoat. Retired officers' plea to CM Meanwhile, nearly 30 retired IPS officers have written to chief minister Siddaramaiah, urging him to revoke the suspension of senior police personnel over the June 4 stampede at M Chinnaswamy Stadium. In their open letter, they stressed that punitive action should follow judicial inquiry, not precede it. The officers said the RCB management first announced the victory celebrations on social media, drawing lakhs of fans to the stadium within hours of the IPL final. The hasty celebrations were arranged due to travel plans of RCB's foreign and local players, the letter said. They noted that police had warned the organisers in writing about the risks of holding such a large event on short notice. Calling the suspension of police officers unjust, the letter stated they were made scapegoats while the real accountability lay with RCB, KSCA and the organisers.

Bengaluru stampede: CID may quiz RCB and Karnataka State Cricket Association officials
The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Karnataka police has ramped up its investigation into the stampede at Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy stadium that claimed 11 lives earlier this month. Led by Superintendent of Police Shubhanwita, the CID team has reportedly issued notices to some suspects named in the FIR, including representatives from the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA). However, senior CID officials have declined to confirm this development publicly. Sources close to the investigation revealed that the CID has yet to seek court custody of suspects arrested by the city police before the probe was transferred. The team is also closely monitoring high court proceedings, as several accused have approached the Karnataka High Court challenging their arrests and the FIRs. Meanwhile, tensions are rising within the IPS cadre in Karnataka following the suspension of senior police officials, including Bengaluru Commissioner of Police B Dayananda. Some senior officers have questioned why only police personnel were held accountable while IAS officers, who allegedly approved the Vidhana Soudha event that drew massive crowds, were spared scrutiny. In a related development, suspended IPS officer Vikas Kumar Vikas, who was the additional commissioner of police (west) and oversaw stadium security, has filed a petition with the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) challenging his suspension. The application was filed on June 6 and is expected to be heard next week. The CID is continuing to investigate the organisational lapses and decisions that led to the deadly stampede.
