BCCI Vice President Rajiv Shukla described the incident as unfortunate in a special conversation with News18. Rajiv said, ‘This is a matter of concern, it is a big lesson for us. This was not BCCI’s program of RCB franchise. But he would not have even thought that such a crowd would throng.

We are very sad, sympathy is towards the injured.
