Bengaluru, 6 June

Social activist Snehamayi Krishna on Friday has filed a complaint with Cubbon Park police station against Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Deputy CM Shivakumar and Karnataka Cricket Association office bearers in connection with the Chinnaswamy stampede.

"This is a tragedy caused by the government's irresponsibility. RCB is not a team representing the State. It is a private team bought by liquor vendors. In such a situation, the State government did not need to invite them and felicitate them," Krishna said.

He alleged that the tragedy was caused by the hastily organised program in front of the Vidhana Soudha without any prior preparation regarding law and safety, holding the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister responsible for the tragedy.

"This case should be taken seriously. The police have registered a UDR (Unnatural Death Report). This is not the right action. A case should be registered under 106 of the Indian Penal Code."
