On June 4, 2025, a tragic stampede occurred outside Bengaluru's M. Chinnaswamy Stadium during Royal Challengers Bengaluru's (RCB) IPL victory celebration, resulting in 11 deaths and over 50 injuries. The chaos began when thousands of fans, eager to see the team, gathered early, leading to overcrowding at entry points. Police attempted to control the surge with lathi-charges, but the situation escalated. Visuals showed fans climbing trees and buses to get a glimpse of the team. The Karnataka government had organized a felicitation ceremony at Vidhana Soudha before the team proceeded to the stadium. The event was cut short due to the massive crowd. Authorities have launched an investigation into the incident. (PC: PTI)
