Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) announced a victory parade in Bengaluru on June 4 without police permission, sources revealed. The viral tweet promoting the event with free entry reportedly led to massive crowds at Vidhana Soudha and Chinnaswamy Stadium, triggering chaos. Despite being advised by police to postpone the celebration, RCB went ahead, resulting in a stampede that claimed 11 lives. The Karnataka government now faces backlash over poor coordination and fan safety negligence. RCB has announced ₹10 lakh compensation per victim’s family and promised support for the injured. Bengaluru Police had suggested a Sunday event for better security arrangements.
