Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar became emotional while addressing the media following the tragic stampede outside Bengaluru’s Chinnaswamy Stadium during RCB’s IPL victory celebration, which left 11 dead and over 70 injured. “It hurts to see little children, I have seen their pain,” he said, visibly shaken. Shivakumar admitted the government underestimated the crowd, which exceeded 3 lakh despite the stadium’s 35,000 capacity. Apologising for the tragedy, he criticised the BJP for politicising the incident. All government events on Friday, except a cabinet meeting, have been cancelled as a mark of respect for the victims. The government has promised to investigate and take administrative lessons to prevent such tragedies in the future. Bengaluru Stadium Stampede: Karnataka High Court Takes Suo Motu Notice of Chaos Outside Chinnaswamy, Hearing at 2:30 PM Today.
