Under-fire IPL champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Thursday said they will cooperate with all the legal proceedings after an FIR was registered against it in connection with the stampede outside Chinnaswamy Stadium in which 11 people were killed. The FIR has been lodged against RCB, Karnataka State Cricket Association and event management firm DNA Entertainment Networks.

 

“We can’t comment on legal proceedings at the moment. But we will cooperate with all the government and judicial authorities,” said a franchise official.

 

The tragedy occurred when nearly 2.5 lakh people thronged the stadium to catch a glimpse of RCB cricketers after their maiden IPL trophy victory. The resultant chaos led to the death of 11 people, besides leaving several others injured on Wednesday.
