New Delhi [India], June 8 (ANI): Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar on Sunday said that a commission has been formed that is currently conducting an inquiry into the Bengaluru stampede incident, where 11 people had lost their lives on June 4 during RCB's IPL victory celebrations.
He further refrained from commenting further on the matter, noting that the state's Home Minister would provide a detailed response.
'The commission is conducting an inquiry. I will not say much. The Home Minister will reply,' said Shivakumar.
Meanwhile, Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara, addressing reporters in Tumkur, reiterated that the matter is under investigation and all details regarding the incident would be made public only after the inquiry is complete.
'Everything will be known after the investigation: who said what, what statements were given earlier, when and by whom,' Parameshwara stated.
Earlier today, Union Minister Pralhad Joshi reiterated Union Minister of State Shobha Karandlaje's scathing remark on Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy CM Shivakumar that they had 'blood on their hands' for their 'irresponsible and insensitive' handling of the crowd outside Bengaluru's Chinnaswamy Stadium, which led to a stampede that killed 11 people on June 4 during RCB's IPL victory celebrations.
Joshi echoed Karandlaje's statement from a press conference on Saturday, in which she accused the leaders of celebrating despite the tragedy and shifting blame and further called for their immediate resignation.
'That is definitely there. I've seen her statement... They have behaved most irresponsibly... Deaths were announced although the celebration was going on... Police have clearly categorically denied that they cannot provide it; it is a risky thing; you don't do it despite all these things... It is the most irresponsible and insensitive behaviour of both the CM (and the Deputy CM),' Joshi said.
His remarks align with Karandlaje's earlier demand, 'You have celebrated after their deaths... You have blood on your hands. Listen, Siddaramaiah, listen, DK Shivakumar, you have blood on your hands... You can't blame the Commissioner... You are also a culprit... I demand Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar resign immediately.'
