The suspension of Bengaluru's police commissioner B Dayananda and other officers has sparked outrage among the police. Officers feel betrayed by the government. They view the action as unprecedented and demoralizing.

A complaint has been submitted at the Cubbon Park Police Station against cricketer Virat Kohli by social activist H.M. Venkatesh. The Police have stated that the complaint will be considered under an already registered case and examined during the course of the ongoing investigation of the stampede incident.
