RCB victory parade turns tragic with stampede: 8 pics

What started as a joyful celebration for RCB’s IPL victory ended in tragedy outside Chinnaswamy Stadium.

The excitement led to packed roads, but safety soon became a concern.

11 people lost their lives, and many others were taken to the hospital after the crowd went out of control.

Police said around 50,000 people had gathered within a 1-km radius of the stadium.

The RCB team reached the stadium late, adding to the restlessness and rush among fans.

For Bengaluru, this IPL title was more than just a win- it ended 18 long years of hope and heartbreak.

A sudden rush and pushing in the crowd caused a stampede, leading to injuries and deaths.

Siddaramaiah, Karnataka’s Chief Minister, visited injured people at the hospital following the stampede.
