RCB Victory Parade Stampede Causes Internet Storm
Bengaluru: The Karnataka government's celebratory zeal turned into a tragic nightmare as a stampede during Royal Challengers Bengaluru's (RCB) IPL 2025 victory parade claimed 11 lives and injured 33 others near M Chinnaswamy Stadium. The Congress-led administration, under Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, is now under intense scrutiny for its alleged insensitivity and negligence, with netizens and opposition leaders alike slamming the government for prioritising political mileage over public safety. The incident has sparked widespread outrage, with many holding the government directly responsible for the preventable tragedy. RCB's first IPL title win in 18 years was a historic moment for fans, culminating in a victory over Punjab Kings by 6 runs on June 3. The Karnataka government which was seen eager to bask in the glory of Bengaluru's triumph, rushed to organise a victory parade within 12 hours of the win. It is a stark contrast to other IPL teams like KKR, MI, and CSK, which held their parades 2-3 days later with proper planning, and the Indian T20 World Cup team, which waited 5 days. The parade, which began at Vidhana Soudha and was meant to culminate at Chinnaswamy Stadium, drew an estimated 2-3 lakh fans, far exceeding the stadium's capacity of 35,000. The situation spiralled out of control when a small gate at the stadium was breached, leading to a deadly stampede. The outrage on social media has been palpable, with netizens demanding accountability from the Congress government. The opposition BJP has also seized the opportunity to criticise the government, with leaders like Amit Malviya labeling the incident as a result of "lack of basic administrative foresight" and Chalavadi Narayanaswamy calling it "unforgivable." The government's response has done little to quell public anger. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah announced Rs. 10 lakh compensation for the families of the deceased and ordered a magisterial inquiry, but his statement, "Over two to three lakh people gathered. No one expected such a crowd," has been met with disbelief. Critics argue that such a turnout was entirely predictable given RCB's massive fanbase and the significance of the win. Deputy CM DK Shivakumar apologised for the overcrowding and cancelled the procession, but his earlier presence at the airport to greet the players has been cited as evidence of the government's attempt to politicise the event. The RCB victory parade stampede has exposed deep flaws in the Karnataka government's approach to public safety, with netizens and opposition leaders united in their demand for justice. The 11 lives lost and 33 injuries sustained are not seen as mere statistics but is a stark reminder of the cost of political insensitivity. For RCB fans, what should have been a moment of triumph has been overshadowed by tragedy, leaving a bitter taste in the wake of their long-awaited victory. The Congress-led Karnataka government now faces a reckoning, as Bengaluru mourns and the nation watches, demanding that such a preventable disaster never happens again.

Free public events, especially cricket ones, should be ticketed: Mumbai cops
EVEN AS the Bangalore administration draws flak for the loss of lives during Royal Challengers Bangalore's (RCB) IPL victory parade, officers with Mumbai Police that handled the Indian cricket team's victory parade after their 2024 T-20 World Cup win at Marine Drive last year, said that while they were well-prepared, 'once a large crowd gathers, none of the preventive measures prove effective'. The officer added that 'apart from our efforts, we have to thank the almighty that no untoward incident happened during the victory parade.' The officer said that in a country like ours with such a high population, events that are open to all — especially around those like cricket events which is followed passionately — is not a good idea. 'There is a need for ticketing such events even if they are given free of cost. Even if you give one lakh passes, the authorities will know the approximate crowd to expect and those who don't get the passes will not come. Or else, holding such open-to-all events is inviting tragedies,' the official added. The senior officer who did not wish to be identified told The Indian Express that while India defeated South Africa in the T-20 final on June 29 and the victory parade was held five days later on July 4, they were informed about the victory parade being held in south Mumbai only 24 hours prior to the event. It was meant to be free to the public and would start at NCPA with an open-air bus ferrying the cricket team and BCCI staff through Marine Drive and end over 1.5kms away at Wankhede stadium where an event would be held to honour the cricket team. An officer said that as soon as they were informed about the victory parade, a meeting was held that included senior police officers, Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) officials and BMC officials to prepare for the next day. 'Through the night, barricades were set up along the way so that crowds wouldn't gather on the roads and videos were prepared and posted on social media platforms by officials giving people instructions on safety measures to be followed,' the officer said. The Mumbai police team had a few precedents to look back to in the form of the victory parades that followed the 2007 T-20 world cup victory and the 2011 ODI world cup victory. 'While the 2007 victory parade was from the airport to Wankhede stadium spread over 35 kms which meant crowding did not take place in one particular area, the 2011 victory parade had less crowds as compared to the 2024 parade – something we would find out the next day,' an officer said. While the parade was to take place in the evening, crowds had started pouring in from 3pm. 'While we expected there would be larger crowds to see the open air bus in which the cricketers would travel, crowds coming from Churchgate station kept swelling at Wankhede stadium. At one point, when there were over 40,000 people at the ground which has a capacity of 30,000, we shut the doors,' the officer said. The officer said that while it usually takes nearly two hours for people to completely fill up the stadium, that day it was full within 40 minutes. 'At first we thought we would lightly frisky those entering the stadium, eventually with the pace at which the crowd was coming, we gave up on the idea,' the officer added. The cricket team had left from the airport and were headed to NCPA in a bus. They however got delayed by over two hours, massive crowds had gathered at Marine Drive during this time. 'Within some time we realised that none of the precautions we had taken were working to face the massive crowds. The barricades had been taken off and the crowd was jostling for space,' an officer said. As per police estimates, a crowd of over three lakh alone had assembled at Marine Drive and 50,000 sitting at the Wankhede stadium. 'The crowd was not following any of the instructions like not coming in their vehicles. Nearly eight to ten cars, that were headed to the south bound stretch of Marine Drive, were stuck in crowds around 3.30pm and the owners could only take them at around 11pm,' the officer said. What came in handy was the use of a public announcement system, which maintained some semblance of order, an officer said. The police team then managed to get the cricket team to NCPA and the victory parade began. 'Nearly 100 police personnel surrounded the bus and ensured it reached Wankhede stadium from NCPA amid the bulging crowds. Initially the cricketers atop the bus raised the trophy and spurred the crowds on. However, they too realised that the crowd had become too much and later started joining their hands, asking them to calm down so that nothing untoward took place,' another officer said. The official said that due to the crowd density, soon people started complaining of breathlessness. 'Our policemen carried people complaining of breathlessness away from the spot to help them. I too went away from the crowd to catch my breath as I too was beginning to feel breathless,' the official added. 'At one point, we broke some of the locks put up at the gates of housing societies on Marine Drive so that the assembled crowd would get some extra space by entering them,' the official said. 'There was still a steady crowd headed from Churchgate station to Marine Drive. Even though we told them not to go ahead and inspite of seeing people complaining of breathlessness, they continued to march on. If the crowd would have suddenly stopped, it would have caused jams on the lanes near the station,' the official said. Soon the railway police, who had been managing the crowd at Churchgate station, realised that a lot of people had gathered at the station. 'While the crowd kept coming in jam packed trains every few minutes, there was hardly any space left. At one point, doors of some crowded trains were shut and they were sent back as it would have led to a stampede type situation,' an official said. Another official said, 'At several moments when the crowd was at its peak, we were worried that one small move could lead to an untoward incident. However, thanks to the almighty nothing of that sort happened and eventually the effort we had taken paid off.' The crowd was such that even if you lost your footwear, you could not bend down to pick it up. The next day BMC collected footwear from the spot in two trucks.

RJ Mahvash shuts down troll questioning her cricket knowledge after revealing Yuzvendra Chahal played IPL 2025 with three fractures
RJ Mahvash isn't one to stay silent when targeted by online trolls, especially when it concerns cricket or Indian spinner Yuzvendra Chahal . The content creator and popular presenter recently posted an emotional tribute to Punjab Kings after their defeat in the IPL 2025 final and revealed a shocking detail: Chahal, the most expensive spinner in IPL history, played the tournament with three fractures. But while fans were moved by her post, one Instagram user took a dig at her, questioning her credibility as a cricket fan. Mahvash claps back at troll doubting her cricket background 'She's just grabbing followers in the name of Yuzi. I bet she even started watching cricket recently,' commented a user under her post. The remark didn't go unnoticed. Mahvash swiftly fired back, saying, 'I have been hosting cricket since 2019, your knowledge is nil chotu! Research!' — signing off with a facepalm emoji. Her confident response earned widespread praise, with fans hailing it as a 'savage' and much-needed clapback. In her original post, Mahvash had revealed the extent of Chahal's injuries during the season. 'His ribs got fractured in the second match only and his bowling finger got fractured later,' she wrote. 'This guy played the entire season with 3 fractures!' She hailed Chahal as a 'warrior' and praised his endurance, writing: 'He gave his everything despite the pain. No one can question his spirit.' Praise for Punjab Kings despite final loss Mahvash also took a moment to appreciate Punjab Kings for their journey through the tournament, calling it an 'honour' to support them this year. 'Well played boys,' she added, while also extending congratulations to RCB on their win. While Mahvash is frequently seen with Chahal in social media snippets, she has remained tight-lipped about the nature of their relationship. In an earlier interview with Yuvaa, she had said: 'I'm very single and happy… I don't go out on casual dates. Just like Ali in Dhoom, I start imagining kids and the future.' Meanwhile, Chahal's personal life has made headlines after his divorce from choreographer Dhanashree Verma was finalised on March 20 at the Bandra family court. The two had tied the knot in December 2020, and news of their separation surfaced earlier this year.
