Bengaluru, July 18 -- The Karnataka government on Wednesday told the high court that its own police were at fault for the stampede at the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) victory celebrations on June 4 that killed 11 people and injured over 50, changing its previous position that RCB was to blame. The State argued that the police should have formally objected to the event and that they should have refused to provide security for the event since no official permission was granted for it.P11
