Bengaluru Stampede: RCB CARES Financial Aid of ₹25 Lakh to Families of Chinnaswamy Stadium Stampede Victims

Royal Challengers Bengaluru introduced 'RCB Cares' program providing Rs 25 lakh to each of the 11 stampede victims' families after an 84-day silence period.

  • On August 30, 2025, Royal Challengers Bengaluru announced Rs 25 lakh each for families of the 11 victims who died in the June 4 stampede at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium under RCB CARES.
  • After winning their maiden IPL title on June 3, 2025, a felicitation and parade at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium drew nearly two-and-half-lakh people, far exceeding its 32,000 capacity and prompting criticism.
  • In the resulting chaos, more than 50 people were injured and the fatalities included those all under the age of 40; RCB did not post on social media for 84 days and had previously announced Rs 10 lakh aid alongside Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.
  • M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru was removed from ICC Women's 50-over World Cup fixtures starting September 30, with matches reassigned to Guwahati and Navi Mumbai; Royal Challengers Bengaluru hopes RCB CARES will help rebuild trust.
  • RCB flagged new programmes called RCB CARES and RCB Beeings, called supporters the '12th Man Army', and said every step forward will reflect what fans "feel, expect, and deserve" after a three-month interruption.
