Bengaluru descended into stampede-like chaos as thousands of RCB fans mobbed Chinnaswamy Stadium to celebrate the team's maiden IPL title. The Karnataka State Cricket Association's felicitation event turned unruly after fans without entry passes tried scaling walls and fences. Overwhelmed police resorted to lathi-charge to manage the surging crowd. Metro stations were jam-packed, and traffic snarled across central Bengaluru. Minor injuries were reported, with some hospitalised. Authorities now face criticism for poor planning and cancellation of the open-top bus parade. Social media exploded with visuals, drawing comparisons to festival stampedes and political rallies. (PC: X)
