IPL Chairman Arun Dhumal called the stampede tragic but clarified that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had no knowledge of Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s (RCB) victory celebration in Bengaluru.
“It is sad and tragic. The celebrations turned into a tragedy. Our heartfelt condolences go to the families who lost their loved ones. For the BCCI, the IPL concluded last night. We had no knowledge of such an incident occurring, so how can we be held responsible for it?” Dhumal told India Today.
