On June 4, 2025, during Royal Challengers Bengaluru's (RCB) victory parade celebrating their maiden IPL title, thousands of fervent fans gathered outside M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Overwhelmed by the massive turnout, some supporters attempted to climb the stadium walls to gain entry, leading to chaotic scenes. The situation escalated into a stampede, resulting in at least seven fatalities and over 25 injuries. Emergency services responded promptly, and the state government announced compensation for the victims. The open-bus parade was subsequently canceled, and an investigation into the incident has been initiated.
