Advocate General Shashikiran Shetty assured the court they would comply with any directions. The court remarked that the tragedy resulted from the crowd’s intent to celebrate and stressed investigating how it could have been prevented and what measures should be taken going forward. The government stated that water tankers, ambulances, and control vehicles were deployed, exceeding arrangements for previous matches. However, the crowd surged to over 2.5 lakh, far beyond the stadium’s 35,000 capacity, with many expecting free entry. The area became congested by 3 pm. Shetty shared casualty details: Gate 7 (4 deaths), Gate 6 (3 deaths), Queens Road (4 deaths). All 21 gates were open with spectators inside. The government admitted that Standard Operating Procedures for crowd control are still being developed, following directions from Chief Minister Siddaramaiah after the incident. The court will hear the case again on Tuesday.
