RCB won the
championship title in the IPL 2025 season and won the trophy for the first time in 18 years. While RCB fans were celebrating this enthusiastically, this celebration went beyond the limits and turned into a huge tragedy. The RCB team management has decided to hold a
victory rally among RCB fans the day after the final. However, the
police initially refused permission for this. However, the RCB management posted on
social media that the
event will be held. This is what has now become the cause of controversy. A large number of fans gathered to
watch this post and a stampede occurred, resulting in 11 deaths and 48 injuries. The
karnataka government has set up a commission of inquiry consisting of a judge in connection with this incident.
In this situation, the Bangalore
police have registered a case against the RCB team management, and the Bangalore
police have arrested the RCB team manager Nikhil Sosale. The
police also arrested
sunil Mathew, an executive of the private company DNA, who had organized the
event, at the airport. Similarly, two more
people have been arrested in connection with this case and taken to the
police for questioning. The
police are also looking for some of the
karnataka State
cricket Association executives who decided to organize this
event without obtaining proper permission. The
police have said that they are now in hiding due to fear of arrest.
In addition, several
police officers, including Bangalore City
police Commissioner Dayananda, who failed to control the crowd, have been suspended by the state
chief minister Siddaramaiah. Meanwhile, the
karnataka High Court, which is conducting a suo motu investigation into the case, has ordered the
karnataka state
government to file a status report on the case on the tenth.
