Cabinet to Pursue Legal Action Over Stadium Stampede
Imagine a big party after a cricket team, RCB, won a game.
A lot of people wanted to go to the party at the Chinnaswamy stadium.
Unfortunately, there was a stampede because too many people tried to get in at once, and some people got hurt and sadly, 11 died.
The government looked into what happened and decided to take legal action against the team, the company that helped organize the party, the people running the cricket stadium, and some police officers because they didn't do a good job of keeping everyone safe.
The investigation found problems with the gates, barricades, and confusing announcements that caused the stampede.
