Under the new guidelines, in any incident of celebratory firing, the first information report (FIR) will also name as accused the organiser of the function.
Navi Mumbai police deny allegations of a stampede during the Maharashtra Bhushan awards ceremony, stating that 14 deaths were due to heatstroke and dehydration. Viral videos on social media reportedly show pushing and shoving among attendees, but not a stampede. Relatives of the victims are questioning why the event organiser has not been held responsible.
