The Karnataka government sanctioned the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) felicitation event at Vidhana Soudha on June 4 under 19 stringent conditions, as per an official letter accessed by India Today. Organizers were required to submit a ₹15 lakh refundable deposit for any erected structures and a ₹10,000 sanitation fee. They were held accountable for any damage to the venue's property. Despite these precautions, the event led to a tragic stampede near M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, resulting in 11 deaths and numerous injuries. The incident has prompted scrutiny over event planning and crowd management protocols. (PC: India Today)
