A deadly stampede erupted on 4 June 2025 outside Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium during Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s IPL victory celebrations. At least 11 people, including two children, died and over 50 were injured as a surge of tens of thousands overwhelmed barricades. Police had reportedly denied permission for the public gathering, yet organizers—including RCB and event-management firm DNA Entertainment—announced free entry and a parade with minimal notice. Authorities filed an FIR against RCB, KSCA, and organizers for culpable homicide and unlawful assembly. Four individuals, including RCB’s head of marketing, Nikhil Sosale, have been arrested and remanded. A magisterial inquiry is underway. (PC: Deccan Herald)
