What Happened At Chinnaswamy Stadium?
A massive crowd gathered to celebrate Royal Challengers Bengaluru's (RCB) first Indian Premier League (IPL) title turned tragic on Wednesday evening when a stampede near M Chinnaswamy Stadium left 11 dead and over 30 injured.
Authorities said most of the victims were young men and women, including several students.
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah highlighted the scale of the crowd, saying the stadium's capacity is 35,000, but 200,000 to 300,000 people had gathered. 'The match was held yesterday (Tuesday), and today (Wednesday) this event was organised by the cricket association, so no one expected such a huge turnout," he said.
RCB ended an 18-year wait for the IPL trophy after defeating Punjab Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Bengaluru. Post their win, the team arrived in Bengaluru for a felicitation ceremony. Fans had arrived in large numbers to catch a glimpse of their champion team.
