Bengaluru: In the wake of the tragic stampede near Chinnaswamy Stadium during Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s IPL victory celebrations on Wednesday, the Karnataka government has transferred Additional Director General of Police (Intelligence) Hemant Nimbalkar.
The state government, treating the incident with utmost seriousness, had earlier suspended several officials, including Bengaluru City Police Commissioner B Dayananda. The latest action comes amid allegations that lapses in the intelligence department contributed to the mishap.
The government has issued an official order effecting Nimbalkar’s transfer, as pressure mounts over the administrative failure that led to the deadly crowd crush.
