Virat Kohli mourns the June 4 Bengaluru stampede during RCB’s IPL celebration, which killed 11 people. Kohli extended condolences, and RCB launched ‘RCB Cares’ to improve crowd safety and compensate the victims’ families.

The decision taken in the 28th BCCI Apex Council meeting held on Saturday comes in the aftermath of the stampede outside the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium during the victory celebrations of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on June 4.

RCB won their first IPL title, defeating Punjab Kings in the IPL 2025 final and earning Rs 20 crore while Punjab Kings received Rs 12.5 crore as runners-up.

The stampede-like situation at Eden Gardens had more to do with erstwhile corrupt officials of Cricket Association of Bengal, who had printed fake tickets above capacity and there were at least 20,000 people more.
