IPL's Bengaluru Pledge Cash Help for Stampede Victims

A stampede on Wednesday near Bengaluru’s M. Chinnaswamy Stadium during celebrations for Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s IPL title killed 11 fans aged 14 to 29.
The incident occurred after an unplanned trophy parade amid unclear police information and a delayed felicitation announcement that underestimated crowd size.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru pledged monetary support of $11,655 to the families of the fans who lost their lives and expressed solidarity with their supporters amid public criticism over safety issues.
Key BJP figures, including R Ashoka and M.A. Mohan, called for the resignation of Karnataka’s head of government Siddaramaiah and his deputy, D.K. Shivakumar, citing mismanagement and poor readiness for emergencies.
The stampede exposed crowd management weaknesses during a major event and prompted calls for a High Court judge-led inquiry to ensure accountability and improve future safety.
