‘Will haunt every cricket fan forever': Internet mourns death of 11 in stampede at Bengaluru stadium during RCB's IPL victory celebrations
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) sparked a frenzy among cricket enthusiasts after winning the Indian Premier League (IPL) trophy for the first time in 18 years. On Tuesday, the franchise clashed with Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the final leg at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. On Wednesday morning, the team's management announced they would hold a victory parade in Bengaluru – in an open bus from city's Vidhana Soudha to the Chinnaswamy Stadium – followed by an event at the stadium. Limited free passes were made available online for the event. However, thousands of fans thronged to the stadium to be a part of the celebrations, which soon turned tragic. In a stampede-like incident outside the stadium on Wednesday evening, 11 people lost their lives and several others sustained injuries. The incident unfolded around 4.00 PM near Gate 3 of the stadium ahead of the celebrations. Soon after the tragedy, the Internet mourned the lives lost, slamming the authority over crowd management. Sharing a post on X, industrialist Harsh Goenka wrote, 'Delhi station stampede. Kumbh stampede. Bangalore IPL stampede. Dozens die. No resignations. No accountability. No lessons. In India, the life of a common man isn't priceless- it's worthless. Cheaper than a cup of chai! Business will go on as usual. Nothing will change.' See here: Delhi station stampede. Kumbh stampede.
