Opposition Leader R. Ashok and Chalavadi Narayanaswamy visited the home of Bhumik, an engineering student from Belur Taluk, Hassan district, who died in a stampede during RCB’s victory celebration, to console the family.

Speaking with Bhumik’s father, D.T. Lakshman, R. Ashok said that while a lost life cannot be brought back, he assured the family of justice for the incident.

Addressing the media later, R. Ashok said the family is deeply saddened by the death of Bhumik, an engineering student. He noted that the family employs 30 workers on their farmland and is financially stable, but the loss of their only son is irreplaceable. He added that everyone, including the family, believes that postponing the RCB celebration by two or three days could have prevented this tragedy. The cricket celebration has caused pain to people, and justice must be served for these deaths.

Bhumik’s father expressed that no parent should endure such a tragedy. He has spent two to three days grieving near his son’s burial site. He emphasized that such incidents should not recur in the future. Despite police warnings against holding the event, they were not heeded, which is evident to all. A proper investigation is needed, and the fight for justice will continue, he said.

Speaking further, Bhumik’s father, Lakshman, questioned why the government failed to realize that such an event should not be held amid such a large crowd. He said that children like theirs have lost their lives, and while the government has provided compensation, he questioned whether money could replace their loss.

He praised R. Ashok and other leaders for their support, noting that they responded promptly and made necessary arrangements after the incident. He clarified that their assistance was not politically motivated but was provided out of humanity.
