SaralnamaOn [4 [June 2025, a stampede outside Bengaluru's M. Chinnaswamy Stadium during Royal Challengers Bengaluru's IPL victory celebration caused 11 deaths and about 50 injuries. Nearly three months later, RCB broke their silence, saying their quietness was due to grief. They launched 'RCB CARES,' a platform to support fans and honour those affected. The tragedy happened as over 200,000 fans gathered despite police denying permission for the event. The Karnataka government blamed RCB for poor crowd management and announced ₹10 lakh compensation for each victim's family. Following the incident, the Karnataka State Cricket Association secretary and treasurer resigned. The stadium lost its status to host major events temporarily. RCB promised to stand with fans and work on meaningful actions to prevent such incidents in the future. (Updated 28 Aug 2025, 12:29 IST; source: link)
