Devajit Saikia, secretary of BCCI, talked about the bumps during the RCB victory parade around Bengaluru’s Chainnaswamy Stadium that led to the death of 11 people. Saikia said it was ‘private matter’ said BCCI was resonnet in India for cricket and could not be a silent spectator. Saikia said with Cricbuzz: “At one point, BCCI will have to do something. We can’t be a silent spectator,” “It was a private matter of RCB, but we at the BCCI are responsible for cricket in India and we will try to ensure that such incidents do not occur in the future,” the BCCI Secretary added. The report says that BCCI intends to put in place a system of deterrence to prevent such incidents during future IPL victories. However, no specific measures have been decided by the board and BCCI is alleged to take up the matter in the future. Gautam Gambhir on Bengaluru Stampede: The statement by Saikia comes shortly after the head coach of India, Gautam Gambhir, has determined to speak to victory meetings. Gambhir talked about the celebrations and said, ‘I think the lives of people are much more important and I will keep saying. We can be a little careful not to keep these kinds of road shows and they may probably have that they have doors or something in a stadium. ” If I played earlier, I didn’t believe much in Roadshows. I do not believe in them today and do not believe in them in the future. Winning is important, celebrations are important, but more important than the life of any person. So if we are not prepared, or if we cannot handle the crowd in this way, these Road shows should not occur. ” The head coach of India added. In a dramatic turn in the Stampede case, Bengaluru police arrested Nikhil Sosal, the head of marketing and revenue for RCB, on Friday.
