BJP MLC and KSCA Shivamogga zone convener D.S. Arun has accused the Karnataka government of hiding the findings of the Justice Michael D’Cunha report on the stampede at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Eleven cricket fans died in the tragedy on June 4, 2025. Speaking at a press conference in Shivamogga on January 14, Mr. Arun questioned why the report has not been made public yet. He said, "Certainly, the judge, who investigated the incident, must have taken note of the mistakes of the government that led to the tragic incident on June 4, a day after RCB won the IPL cup for the first time." He pointed out that the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister held a programme at Vidhana Soudha where family members were present. Later, a programme was held at KSCA stadium without proper preparation and security. The government blamed DNA Network, the event management company, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), and the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) for the stampede. RCB officials were arrested. Mr. Arun said, "Now, the RCB has expressed a wish to move to Pune. So far, none from the government have come forward to convince them to stay in Bengaluru." He warned that if RCB leaves Karnataka, it will hurt cricket in the state and reduce excise revenue. Mr. Arun urged the Chief Minister to preserve the glory of M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, which has hosted more than 100 IPL and many international matches. He said, "The stadium stands among the top cricket stadiums in the country and abroad. The State Government and the KSCA should focus on improving the facilities and ensuring safety as per the recommendations of the judicial probe."
