The recent crowd disaster at a cricket celebration in Bengaluru, which resulted in 11 deaths and 47 injuries, has led to the arrest of four individuals connected to the event. The Royal Challengers Bengaluru's trophy celebration attracted an overwhelming crowd of 200,000-300,000 despite the stadium's capacity being 35,000, creating a dangerous situation. In response, officials have initiated legal action against both event organizers and police for their negligence. IPL's wealth has fueled criticism, with demands for prioritizing fan safety overshadowing profit motives in future events.
In response to the tragedy at the RCB celebration, officials have charged four individuals with culpable homicide for their parts in the deadly incident.
Witnesses reported that an overwhelming number of ticketless fans attempted to enter the stadium, leading to a tragic stampede that caused 11 deaths and numerous injuries.
The IPL's prioritization of profit over safety has prompted increased calls from the public for accountability and better safety measures during large events.
As the world’s richest cricket league, IPL must now ensure that fan safety practices are not compromised in future events, reflecting on the tragedy.
