The celebration of RCB’s maiden IPL title win turned tragic as chaos ensued outside the Chinnaswamy stadium, leading to 11 fatalities and 33 injuries in a stampede. Former Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar expressed his condolences, calling the incident “beyond tragic.” The BCCI labeled the incident as “unfortunate” and emphasized the need for better planning and arrangements for such events in the future. IPL Chairman Arun Dhumal extended his sympathies to the families of the deceased, stating that the Indian board was unaware of the event. Despite the turmoil, RCB’s felicitation ceremony proceeded as planned inside the stadium, with the open-bus parade being canceled. Virat Kohli and captain Rajat Patidar addressed the crowd before parading around the ground with the trophy. The incident served as a stark reminder of the negative repercussions of unchecked enthusiasm and the importance of ensuring safety measures during public events.
