Tragedy struck outside the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, where a stampede claimed 11 lives and left over 30 people injured during Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s IPL victory celebrations. Former cricketer Manoj Tiwary expressed condolences and called for accountability and justice for the victims’ families. RCB faced criticism for continuing celebrations despite the stampede, but they clarified that they halted the festivities upon learning of the tragedy. Tiwary questioned how the management and authorities were unaware of the stampede with the rapid spread of news on social media. He suggested that RCB should have waited 1-2 days to organize the celebratory event to avoid such incidents. Tiwary compared RCB’s rushed planning to KKR’s well-orchestrated victory parade, emphasizing the need for accountability and careful organization to prevent tragedies like this in the future.
