The report on the Bengaluru stampede of June 4, 2025, which resulted in 11 deaths and over 50 injuries outside Chinnaswamy Stadium, has been submitted to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. The one-man judicial commission, led by retired Justice Michael D'Cunha, was tasked with investigating the incident and identifying the responsible parties. The commission's findings highlight major lapses in crowd control and event planning.

The stampede occurred when a massive crowd gathered to collect tickets for a T20 World Cup warm-up match between India and Bangladesh. The situation turned chaotic due to poor crowd management and a lack of proper arrangements. Victims included students and daily wage workers who had been waiting in long queues since early morning.

Justice D'Cunha's commission was responsible for examining the reasons behind the stampede, identifying lapses by authorities, and recommending steps to prevent similar incidents in the future. The commission conducted multiple hearings, inspected the stadium, and collected statements from eyewitnesses, police officers, members of the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA), and government officials.

The report points out that the tragedy could have been prevented with better planning and coordination among stakeholders. It also noted the absence of basic crowd control mechanisms and a lack of coordination between the police and event organizers.

In the aftermath of the tragedy, a Bengaluru court sent four officials from RCB and an event firm to 14-day judicial custody. These actions, along with the filing of multiple FIRs, indicate that the police and government are casting blame on RCB, KSCA, and DNA Entertainment, an event management firm, for culpable homicide and negligence.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and DNA Entertainment have filed petitions in the Karnataka High Court, seeking to quash criminal cases linked to the stampede. Both parties argue they are wrongly blamed, citing mismanagement and inadequate police presence as key factors. Rajesh Menon, vice-president and head of Royal Challengers Bengaluru, appeared before the magistrate to give his statement.

Hospital records indicate that the first death occurred at 3:45 pm on June 4. Investigations revealed that ten more deaths were recorded at three hospitals in central Bengaluru between 4:15 pm and 5:15 pm, while the celebration for RCB's IPL victory was ongoing at two separate events held between 4 pm and 6 pm.

The Karnataka government had initially ordered a magisterial inquiry into the stampede, alongside a police probe into the criminality involved. The Justice D'Cunha commission was given a month to investigate the lapses in planning, coordination, and crowd management. CM Siddaramaiah has stated that the report will be placed before the state cabinet on July 17.
