The Joint Commissioner of Police (Headquarters), Meeraj Khalid, discussed the police force’s preparations for the 2025 Indian Premier League season. “Every year, Kolkata hosts IPL matches. As we always do prior to a game, we have made plans. Khalid informed Indian Express that even greater plans would be made this year.
Regarding BCCI’s answer to their request, CAB stated, “We haven’t received any response regarding that yet.”
It is requested by CAB to BCCI that the April 6 match between KKR and LSG be delayed or transferred to a another location. Snehasish Ganguly, the president of the CAB, has previously stated that the “misleading posts” were caused by the Kolkata Police’s lack of confidence in their ability to provide sufficient protection for the game.
