Karnataka government submitted report
This report has been made public following the instructions of the Karnataka High Court. Although the state government had urged the court not to public and keep the report confidential, the court said that there is no legal basis for this secrecy.

It further states that for such an event, permission has to be obtained at least 7 days in advance.
The report said, in this case, no application was submitted to the licensing authority on behalf of the organizer for the Vijay Parade. The police inspector of Kabban Park Police Station did not allow the request for the victory parade by the KSCA for the victory parade at around 6.30 pm. Because there was a lack of information about both possible consequences of the final match, ie a huge crowd for the victory or defeat of RCB, due to the arrangements made due to the possible obstacles, there was no permission.
Referred to Virat Kohli’s video
The report said that the RCB posted a photo on its official social media handle at 7.01 am without consulting the police, which was reported for free entry to the people and the public was invited to join the victory parade. It was told that the parade was started from Saudh Saudh and ending at Chinnaswami Stadium. After this, RCB posted two more.

At the same time, the stadium had a capacity of only 35,000 people. After being posted on its official handle by RCB/organizers, the entry will be free for all, such a huge crowd gathered at the entrance gate of the stadium.
A crowd gathered at the gate and started getting restless. The situation worsened when the organizer responsible for the gate management/RCB/DNA/KSCA could not open the gate at the appropriate time. Due to the Miss management of the organizers, the mob broke into gate numbers 1, 2 and 21 and entered the stadium.
The report states that the stadium gate numbers 02, 2A, 6, 7, 15, 17, 18, 20 and 21 “sporadic stampede”. The report said, in this incident, the policemen in and around the gate immediately reacted and effectively reacted and controlled the situation.
Why the parade not canceled
It has been said in the report that a large number of people had gathered, due to this, violence could erupt among the people due to the sudden cancellation of Vijay rally.

Instead of completely canceling the event, the event was worked in a balanced way by allowing the event to continue with much less time and better monitoring.
