The Incident
The stampede happened outside the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, where a large crowd had gathered to attend a felicitation ceremony for the RCB players following their victory in the IPL 2025 final against the Punjab Kings, which they won by six runs.
Despite the event being intended only for those with valid entry passes, thousands gathered at the venue, leading to overcrowding and chaos. Due to the mismanagement of the crowd, the situation turned deadly, resulting in the death of 11 people and injuries to nearly 50 others.
