RCB Victory Lap Turns Tragic: 11 Dead, Many Injured in B'luru Stampede

Karnataka CM Announces Magisterial Inquiry, ₹10 Lakh Ex-Gratia to Next of Kin
Celebrations descended into chaos and finally tragedy as 11 people lost their lives and more than 30 were left injured outside the Chinnaswamy Stadium while trying to join a party inside the venue to honour Royal Challengers Bengaluru's IPL triumph here on Wednesday.
However, the felicitation of the players went ahead nonetheless as the stadium was packed to the rafters despite the chaos.
Much like last night when the team's win in Ahmedabad triggered a street party in the Garden City, Wednesday too had thousands, which eventually became lakhs, converging at the Chinnaswamy stadium, leaving the police outnumbered and struggling to take control of the situation.
The men in uniform tried to use mild force to disperse the crowd or to at least bring some order, but that did little to discourage people, many of whom could be seen pressed against the stadium's entrance gate, desperate to get in.
