RCB parade chaos: Mismatched orders, crowd frenzy, and a tragic end
Synopsis: Almost two days after the stampede outside the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, five people are still under treatment at different hospitals.
Almost two days after the stampede outside the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru during the IPL title celebration of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), most of those injured have been discharged from hospitals.
While two are being treated at Bowring Hospital and two in Vydehi Hospital, they are out of danger. Meanwhile, one person is under observation at Sparsh Hospital.
At least 11 people were killed during the stampede. Meanwhile, the government has tasked Bengaluru District Collector Jagadeesha G to probe the incident and submit a report within 15 days.
Taking cognisance of the stampede, the Karnataka High Court on Thursday issued a notice to the state government, asking it to file a detailed report. The court, which ordered the registry to file a suo motu writ petition based on media reports on Wednesday’s stampede, listed the case for 10 June.
Speaking to South First, Dr Manoj Kumar, Director of Bowring and Lady Curzon Hospital in Bengaluru, said, “Of the 10 patients admitted, only two are still in the hospital.
All others have been discharged. One of them, 22-year-old C Venu, had to undergo surgery for the fractured leg, and the surgery was done on Thursday. Meanwhile, a 14-year-old boy’s relatives came to the hospital on Thursday, and we might discharge him on Friday.”
In total, 18 patients were treated at the hospital after the stampede at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. According to Dr Manoj, the majority of them were treated for minor scrapes, breathing difficulty issues, and anxiety. Of them, only 10 were admitted.
Meanwhile, doctors at Vydehi Super Speciality Hospital said that four of the 16 patients who were brought in were brought dead, and the others were admitted. The doctors said that most of them had minor cuts, fractures, bruises and breathlessness-type issues, while only two of them are still under observation.
A senior doctor told South First that they have minor injuries but are still reeling under shock and hence are under observation. They might be discharged soon, the doctor said.
In its statement of facts to the High Court of Karnataka, the state government has said that a total of 56 people were brought injured to the hospital and of them, only six are still being treated at the hospital.
The statement read, “More than 2.5 lakh people had gathered around the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, resulting in a total number of 11 deaths at various gates. Four deaths at Gate 7, two deaths at Gate 6, one death at Gate 1, and four deaths at Gates 17–21…”
The statement said that 56 people were injured and claimed that adequate medical facilities were provided to all the injured persons.
“Five of them were treated in Manipal Hospital, three in Sparsh Hospital, where one was admitted and is in the hospital, 31 were brought into Bowring Hospital, and two are still in the hospital. While one was treated in Apollo Hospital, 14 at Vasavi Hospital, and three were inpatients. Meanwhile, one was treated at Fortis Hospital and another at Victoria Hospital and have been discharged,” the government said.
Meanwhile, the nature of injuries, the statement said, ranges from minor to grievous. Detailing further, the statement said, “51 had minor injuries, two had moderate injuries, and three had grievous injuries.”
