Before the stampede, Bengaluru police had reportedly advised the RCB team and State government to avoid holding the celebrations on Wednesday (June 4).
As per a Deccan Herald report, senior police officers urged to postpone the ceremony till Sunday (June 8), as the local police would get adequate time for the preparations and planning for the rejoice. However, RCB went ahead as their key overseas player had to fly back home.
“We tried to discourage the government as well as the RCB franchise from Tuesday night against having any celebrations on Wednesday. We told them it would be ill-advised and recommended holding the event next Sunday when emotions would have cooled down,” an unnamed police officer said to the news outlet, as also carried out by several publications.
