ADGP rank officer suspension, first in state police history
Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bangalore team became the IPL champion this time and 11 people died in the stampede that occurred near Chinnaswamy Stadium during this victory parade. Considering this case seriously, the state government has assigned the investigation of the case to the CID. In addition, the police officers themselves have been punished in connection with the incident. In particular, Bengaluru City Commissioner B Dayanand has been suspended, and this is the first time in the history of the police of the state of Karnataka that an ADGP rank officer has been suspended. Bengaluru City Police Commissioner B Dayanand was the Director General of Karnataka Police, i.e. an ADGP rank officer. In this context, B Dayanand was on the verge of becoming DG and IGP. However, the state government has suspended Dayanand in this stampede case. This is the first time in the history of Karnataka State Police that an officer who was on the doorstep of the DG and IGP posts has been suspended. Additional Commissioner of Police Vikash Kumar Vikash, DCP of Bengaluru Central Division HT Shekhar, ACP Balakrishna and Inspector Girish AK of Cubbon Park Police Station have also been suspended by the state government. Opposition leader R Ashok has reacted to the suspension of police officers, tweeting that the people of the state are demanding justice from CM Siddaramaiah. Not a sheep for sacrifice. Through this, he has expressed his objection to the suspension of police officers. Ashok has also indirectly demanded that the ministers concerned be punished. BJP MLA Suresh Kumar has reacted to the suspension of police officers, saying that suspension is a boon for efficient officers. This is a guarantee. Someone gets punished for someone's mistake. Andher Nagar's Chaupat Raja comes to mind. The administration, which rejected the advice of police officers and sacrificed innocent people to get crazy publicity, is now sacrificing efficient officers to make amends, a clear example of bankruptcy. He said that this act of the government will definitely lead to a decline in the morale of the officers. As soon as Dayanand was suspended in the stampede case, discussions started on who would be the next Bengaluru Police Commissioner. Four main names were doing the rounds. Umesh Kumar, Arun Chakravarthy, Seemanth Kumar Singh and R. Hitendra were in the race for the post of Bengaluru City Police Commissioner. But Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Home Minister Dr G Parameshwar held important talks on who among them should be made the Commissioner, and finally Seemanth Kumar Singh was finalized, and Bihar-born Seemanth Kumar Singh has been appointed as the Bengaluru City Police Commissioner and an order has been issued. Former IPS and Commissioner of Police, Bhaskar Rao stated, Mr Siddaramiah has gone into Panic mode. The suspension of Bengaluru City Police Commissioner is the darkest day in the History of Karnataka Police. The prize for telling the Truth and he and his Team slogged the whole night to keep Bengaluru Safe. Everyone in Karnataka knows that it is the Uncontrollable Deputy Chief Minister who orchestrated the Death March is the main Culprit. No Chief Minister has become as Helpless, Cowardly, Nervous and Panicky. The Government has Blood on its Hands and Now has lost its Mind too. The government is now in disaster.

Constable protests suspension of Commissioner, marches to Raj Bhavan
Bengaluru: In a rare show of dissent within the police force, a head constable from Madiwala police station, Narasimharaju, staged a protest on Saturday condemning the Karnataka government's suspension of Bengaluru Police Commissioner B Dayanand and four other senior officers. Narasimharaju marched to Raj Bhavan, carrying a portrait of Dr B.R Ambedkar and wearing a black armband as a symbol of protest. He intended to submit a written complaint to the Governor, demanding that the government revoke the suspension orders issued in the wake of the tragic stampede at the RCB victory celebration that claimed 11 lives. In his letter, Narasimharaju argued that such punitive action against high-ranking officers, especially without a complete investigation, would demoralise the police force. He stated that the suspension undermines the integrity and morale of honest officers and sends a negative message to those serving in the department. However, his solo protest did not go unnoticed. He was taken into custody by the Vidhana Soudha police for violating conduct norms and staging an unsanctioned protest at a high-security location. The suspension of Police Commissioner B Dayanand, Additional Commissioner Vikas Kumar, DCP Shekhar T, ACP Balakrishna, and Inspector Girish came a day after a tragic stampede near Chinnaswamy Stadium and Vidhana Soudha, where thousands had gathered to celebrate RCB's IPL success. The resulting chaos led to multiple injuries and fatalities, prompting the government to take immediate disciplinary action. The incident has triggered widespread debate about accountability, event planning, and the handling of large public gatherings. While the government maintains that the suspensions are necessary pending inquiry, protests like Narasimharaju's reflect growing concerns within the police ranks over what some perceive as hasty scapegoating. As investigations continue and the magisterial inquiry ordered by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah unfolds, this act of protest by a head constable has brought to light the internal tensions brewing within the force over the fallout from the tragedy.

'Evil...': BJP Slams Congress Over Bengaluru Top Cop's Suspension After Stampede Horror
Last Updated: A row erupted in Karnataka after CM Siddaramaiah suspended Bengaluru Police Commissioner B Dayanand over the Chinnaswamy Stadium tragedy. BJP accused Congress of scapegoating. A row has erupted in Karnataka after Congress leader and Chief Minister Siddaramaiah suspended Bengaluru Police Commissioner B Dayanand over Chinnaswamy Stadium tragedy that claimed 11 lives on May 4. The Bengaluru CP was suspended a day following the stadium horror that unfolded during the Royal Challengers Bengaluru's (RCB) Indian Premier League victory celebration, jointly organised by the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) and DNA Networks. The Karnataka Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has accused the Congress-led state government of being selfish for not taking any responsibility for the mishap and using the police officers as scapegoat. Calling the government's move 'shameful", former Chief Minister and BJP leader BS Yediyurappa on Thursday alleged that state government suspended five police officers in order to pacify public. Siddaramaiah-led government forgot their moral responsibility, the ex-CM said. While referring to the chaos that allegedly took lace due to mismanagement, he added that the state government has created 'a dark history." Taking to X, Yediyurappa wrote, 'It is a shameful act that the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Ministers themselves stood up and the entire government took responsibility for the system, and while celebrating RCB's victory, they forgot their moral responsibility and, with the evil thought of calming the public's anger, suspended five police officers, including the Police Commissioner, as victims. Even before the ceremony, when news of the deaths and injuries in the stampede reached, the Congress government ended the felicitation program in a huff and puff, and then continued the program at Chinnaswamy Stadium, creating a dark history in Karunad (sic)." He added that the state govt took this decision of suspending the officials to protect themselves from court judgement and to continue to hold the chair. 'Suspending officials to appease public anger and escape the judgment of the High Court is a selfish move of clinging to the chair. If the Chief Minister @siddaramaiah, Deputy Chief Minister @DKShivakumar and Home Minister @DrParameshwara have any morals, they should take responsibility for this tragic incident and resign immediately (sic),"he further wrote. 'Murderous': BJP Alleges Congress Insulted Bodies Of Victims Referring to the Karnataka govt as 'murderous", the Karnataka BJP also claimed that the Victim's bodies that were handed over to their families were brought in 'ambulances without freezers." The Karnataka BJP tweeted, 'The murderous @INCKarnataka government has insulted even the bodies of the dead with its irresponsibility. It has proven how shameless it is by providing ambulances without freezers to hand over dead bodies to families. Sending bodies hundreds of kilometers away in hearses without freezers is truly inhumane… CM @siddaramaiah , DCM @DKShivakumar, doesn't your murderous government have the guts to transport the dead bodies properly..!!(sic)." Leader of Opposition in state assembly R Ashoka also echoed these concerns, questioning the Congress leadership's contradictions. 'Yesterday, DK Shivakumar said police were not responsible. Now Siddaramaiah has suspended the Police Commissioner and other officials. What is going on?" Ashoka asked. Meanwhile, CM Siddaramaiah ordered the arrest of RCB, event management, and KSCA officials. A Criminal Investigation Department (CID) investigation is underway and a judicial commission is proposed to investigate lapses. tags : bengaluru karnataka Location : Bengaluru, India, India First Published: June 06, 2025, 13:40 IST News india 'Evil...': BJP Slams Congress Over Bengaluru Top Cop's Suspension After Stampede Horror

Bengaluru Police recover stolen cash in two separate robbery cases
Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], May 13 (ANI): Bengaluru Police on Tuesday announced the resolution of two separate robbery cases, including one involving a foreign national and another involving the theft of over Rs1.48 crore by a domestic driver. Vyalikaval Police recovered Rs 1,48,36,500 that was allegedly stolen by a driver employed by a chartered accountant based in Kodandarapura. The complaint was filed on May 6, 2025, after the driver, entrusted with the cash for bank deposit, failed to deliver the amount and absconded with it. 'Police have arrested the accused driver, who had been employed with the complainant for nearly a decade,' Police Commissioner B Dayanand said in a press conference, adding that the entire amount was recovered from the accused's residence near TTD Temple along with the two-wheeler used in the theft. Dayanand further said a robbery case was registered under Kodigehalli Police Station limits, where a foreign national of African origin was robbed of cash, passport, documents, and a two-wheeler. 'Police have apprehended two individuals from the locality and recovered all valuables, including the stolen two-wheeler and another motorcycle used in the crime,' Commissioner Dayanand said. Police said the arrest not only resolved the current case but also helped detect a pending theft case under Vyalikaval Police Station. Commissioner Dayanand urged residents to remain vigilant about their belongings and exercise caution when hiring domestic help. 'People should verify the background of workers before engaging or employing them,' he said. (ANI)
