Stampede-like situation outside Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru; 10 injured, 1 critical
Karnataka police on Wednesday were using 'mild' force to manage the crowd gathered outside Bengaluru's Chinnaswamy Stadium to get a glimpse ofthe Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) players after their IPL final win against Punjab Kings on Tuesday night, reported the news agency ANI on 4 June 2025. As per media reports, 10 people were injured, and one is critical after a Stampede-like situation outside the Chinnaswamy stadium. According to the agency report, RCB fans had gathered outside the stadium in large numbers to catch a glimpse of this season's IPL final winners when the situation went out of control. This led to police involvement, and the video also showed them hitting people with sticks and causing a stampede-like situation on Wednesday. 'We request all fans to follow guidelines set by police and other authorities, so that everyone can enjoy the roadshow peacefully,' said RCB in its post on X ahead of the fan engagement programme. A PTI report also showed how a child fainted outside the Chinnaswamy Stadium as massive crowds gathered to celebrate the IPL win. Karnataka's State Cricket Association also arranged a special felicitation ceremony for all RCB players on Wednesday.

BCCI breaks silence on shifting IPL 2025 final from Kolkata to Ahmedabad: 'The decision was...'
As rain caused a considerable delay to the start of Qualifier 2 on Sunday in Ahmedabad, leaving the Ambanis visibly tense with a potential washout threatening Mumbai Indians' campaign, social media showed no mercy to the BCCI for shifting the match and the final from Kolkata to the Gujarat city. But a sigh of relief followed as no overs were lost in Qualifier 2, and rain stayed away from the final, where Royal Challengers Bengaluru clinched their maiden title by defeating Punjab Kings. Kolkata's Eden Gardens was originally scheduled to host Qualifier 2 and the final. However, the venue was changed during the IPL Governing Council meeting on May 20, when BCCI officials decided to alter the schedule based on weather forecasts. As a result, Hyderabad also lost out on hosting Qualifier 1 and the Eliminator, with Chandigarh stepping in. According to a Cricbuzz report, BCCI justified its decision based on weather data for IPL cities. Kolkata had a reported 65% chance of rain, while Ahmedabad showed only 3%. The decision drew political backlash, but BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia broke his silence on Wednesday, saying: "The decision was never political. We banked on scientific material and inputs. There was no rain forecast in Ahmedabad at the time of the GC." BCCI vice president Rajeev Shukla, too had spoken much on the same lines ahead of the final, dismissing reports and speculations suggesting a 'political agenda' behind shifting the venue. "There is no politics in the decision involving the shift in the venue of the IPL 2025 final. If the IPL hadn't been suspended for a week and the tournament had happened according to the initial schedule, the final would have been held in Kolkata, and the playoffs would have been held in Hyderabad. After the schedule was changed, the weather aspect was considered. Even broadcasters urged the venue shift to avoid losses," he told ANI. In hindsight, BCCI's conviction proved right. While Kolkata remained dry on Sunday, it was lashed by thunderstorms on Tuesday evening, coinciding with the second innings of the final. Had the match been held there, the result would likely have depended on the reserve day.

Bengaluru Stampede: Many feared dead during RCB victory celebrations near Chinnaswamy Stadium
Many people are feared dead in a stampede in Bengaluru on Wednesday, as thousands of fans gathered outside M. Chinnaswamy Stadium to celebrate Royal Challengers Bengaluru's IPL 2025 championship victory. While a lot of fans gathered for the felicitation held by the Karnataka State Cricket Association, visuals showed police shifting the injured persons and those who fell unconscious to nearby hospital. The newly-crowned IPL champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru team touched base at the Garden City on Wednesday afternoon amid a roaring welcome from waiting fans, who lined up the streets to catch a glimpse of the star-studded side. Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Most Realistic Game of 2025 RAID Play Now Undo The Rajat Patidar-led team was received by state's Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar at the airport. En route to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's office at the Vidhana Soudha here, the fans assembled on both sides of the road cheered the triumphant squad with gusto. Live Events RCB defeated Punjab Kings by six runs in the IPL final at Ahmedabad on Tuesday to clinch their maiden title in 18 years. It was another major achievement for the side's talisman Virat Kohli, who has only played for this franchise since the league's inception. After the appointment with the CM, the RCB players will head to the M Chinnaswamy Stadium for a fan engagement programme. However, the much-anticipated open-top bus parade from Vidhana Soudha to the stadium might not take place because of traffic congestion, as per a tweet by the Bengaluru Traffic Police. The rainy weather in the city too might have forced the authorities to take such a call apart from the challenge they faced in containing the crowd movement last night after RCB's victory.
