Royal Challengers Bengaluru's celebrations after their first IPL win soon turned sour after a stampede at their victory parade left 11 dead and 47 fans injured. Joyous cricket fans had come out to celebrate and welcome home their heroes after RCB beat Punjab Kings in a roller-coaster Indian Premier League cricket final on June 3 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

The Bengaluru event was planned to begin at Vidhan Soudha and conclude at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, covering a distance of less than 2 km. This led to a massive crowd gathering in a confined area. The situation was further complicated by the police refusing permission for an open-top bus parade, adding to the overall chaos.
