'RCB Created Nuisance, Cops Not Magicians': CAT Cancels IPS Officer’s Suspension in Bengaluru Stampede Case

  • The Central Administrative Tribunal cancelled the suspension of IPS officer Vikash Kumar Vikash on July 1, linked to the June 4 Bengaluru stadium stampede that killed 11 people.
  • The suspension followed the stampede caused by Royal Challengers Bengaluru announcing a victory parade on social media without police permission or consultation.
  • The CAT stated that the RCB was mainly accountable for attracting an estimated crowd ranging from three hundred thousand to five hundred thousand people and highlighted that the police had insufficient time, approximately 12 hours, to organize necessary arrangements.
  • The tribunal called the suspension order “mechanical,” stated no convincing evidence showed police negligence, declared officers are not magicians, and ordered Vikash's immediate reinstatement with full benefits.
  • The ruling implies the government must grant similar relief to other suspended officers and highlights the state's flawed response to the event and police disciplinary process.
