Bengaluru Stampede: Top Karnataka Cricket Officials Resign Taking 'Moral Responsibility' For Fatal IPL Celebration
Karnataka State Cricket Association secretary A Shankar and treasurer ES Jairam have tendered their resignations 'owning moral responsibility' of the stampede that took place near the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on June 4 at Royal Challengers Bengaluru's IPL 2025 title celebration. For the first time in IPL's 18-year history, RCB won the trophy but its taste turned sour after stampedes at the celebration parade killed 11 and injured close to 50. After the team's maiden IPL title celebrations in Bengaluru took a tragic turn, resulting in the deaths of 11 fans, the police have made four arrests in the case. Among those four people arrested is the franchise's marketing head, Nikhil Sosale. After that comes these high-profile resignations. "This is to inform that due to the unforeseen and unfortunate events that have unfolded in the last two days and though our role was very limited, but owing moral responsibility, we wish to state that last night we have tendered our resignation to our respective posts as the Secretary and Treasurer of the Karnataka State Cricket Association, by way of a letter dated 06.06.2025 to the President of Karnataka State Cricket Association. This is for your information. A. Shankar E.S. Jairam," a statement IPL champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru announced a financial assistance of Rs 10 lakh each for the families of the 11 supporters, who lost their lives in a stampede outside the Chinnaswamy Stadium during the team's victory celebrations . Lakhs of people turned out to catch a glimpse of Virat Kohli and Co. leading to complete chaos and eventually a stampede that caused the death of 11 people outside the stadium here on Wednesday. "The unfortunate incident in Bengaluru yesterday has caused a lot of anguish and pain to the RCB family," said an RCB statement on Thursday. More than 50 people were also injured in the incident and the franchise said a fund is being set up to assist them. "As a mark of respect and a gesture of solidarity, RCB has announced a financial support of Rs 10 lakh to each of the eleven families of the deceased. In addition, a fund called RCB Cares is also being created to support fans injured in this tragic incident," it added. A magisterial inquiry is currently underway into the tragedy and its report is expected within the next fortnight. RCB has drawn widespread criticism for going ahead with the victory celebrations just a day after winning the trophy, denying the administration and police authorities enough time to arrange adequate security needed for an event of such magnitude. BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia has already questioned the lapses in arrangement on Wednesday and also stressed on the need for proper co-ordination between the franchise, the police and the district administration for smooth conduct of such a programme. He cited the seamless victory parade in Mumbai, which drew lakhs on to the streets, after India's T20 World Cup triumph last year as a case in point. RCB's social media team had invited people to the celebrations with a social media post but later withdrew it after the Bengaluru Traffic Police stated that it would be difficult to allow a victory parade given the congestion on the route. The parade was given the go ahead by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah but did not take place due to crowd chaos and rain. Former India wicketkeeper and Karnataka legend Syed Kirmani was scathing in his criticism while talking to India Today, calling it a "deadly welcome".

Swiggy off, Netflix paused: How to have the best weekend without spending a dime?
Picture this: It's Friday evening. Your friends are pinging you with dinner plans, your Insta feed is full of people checking into hill stations or cafes, and there's that little whisper in your mind saying,'Just one small Swiggy and Zomato order won't hurt.' But your wallet (and your financial goals) are screaming: no spending this weekend. The surprise is that you may have an absolutely amazing, unforgettable weekend without spending a dime! Maybe it is even better than your usual pattern of spending ₹ 2000 and feeling guilty afterwards. For the modern Indian that really wants to live an awesome life while spending less money, the zero spend weekend is the ultimate desi lifestyle experiment. This is important because mindset matters just as much as money. Moreover, spending a weekend with Zero Spending rewires your brain to exist in a society that teaches us that having fun is synonymous to spending money. This is why you need a zero-spend weekend: This can help you break the cycle of dopamine, spend and do-over. You can tap into the jugaadu genius that lies within yourself. This can help you slow you down and think about what makes you happy. And let's be honest, you did not buy fancy peri-peri fries instead of your mutual fund SIP. No spending money: Obvious, but important. Not on Swiggy, not on petrol, not even on that cute ₹ 99 thing on Meesho. Use what you already have: That includes your pantry, your books, your streaming subscriptions, your friends. Pre-plan: A little structure goes a long way. You don't want to sit around saying, 'Ab kya karein?' Involve others: Make it a group challenge with your flatmates, spouse, or even your Instagram followers. Start with silence: Wake up without alarms. Journal. Meditate. Do yoga. If that's too much, just sip your chai on the balcony while watching the city wake up. Get moving, desi-style: No gym? No problem. Try old-school skipping, dancing to 90s Bollywood music, or even doing a YouTube Garba workout. Declutter like a boss: Channel your inner Marie Kondo, Indian edition. Clean your cupboard. Organise your kitchen. Donate those jeans that don't fit but make you sad every Sunday. Read something that doesn't glow: Pick up a real book. No Kindle. No scrolling. Bonus points for reading something by Rujuta Diwekar, Devdutt Pattanaik, or Premchand. DIY lunch challenge: Open your fridge and pretend you're on MasterChef India: Broke Edition. Make a dish using only what you already have. Maggi with a twist? Left over pulao paratha? Go wild. Explore your gullies: Put on your chappals and take a walk. Discover that old banyan tree, the uncle who feeds the birds, or that corner kirana shop mural. Fall in love with your own city again. Movie night, Indian classic style: No Netflix binge. Instead, revisit a golden oldie —Guide, Anand, Pather Panchali, or Dil Chahta Hai. Light a diya. Make popcorn. Soak in the nostalgia. Phone detox + family call: No Instagram, just call your dadi and ask her about her childhood. The stories you'll hear? Priceless. Create something: Write poetry. Make a rangoli. Start your blog. Write a song. Recycle an old speaker. Get your jugaad on. Clean in a different room: Clear out your inbox. Eliminate old screenshots. Remove the fifty emails you never read. Emotional health equals mental clarity. Free fun with friends: Host a zero-spend potluck. Organise a board game night. Have a terrace antakshari session. Your friends might whine at first, but they'll thank you later. You don't need Goa to feel alive or a shopping haul to feel happy. The good life isn't something you swipe your card for, it's something youdesign intentionally. A zero-spend weekend is your reminder that in a world obsessed with buying happiness, you already own most of it. So this weekend, put away the wallet. Open your heart. And discover that the richest experiences often cost nothing at all.
