Bengaluru ke M. Chinnaswamy Stadium ke bahar Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) ke IPL 2025 jeet ke jashn ke dauraan bheed mein bhagdad machne se ek bada hadsa ho gaya. Yeh jashn, jo RCB ke 18 saal baad pehli IPL trophy jeetne ki khushi mein shuru hua tha, afra-tafri aur dukh mein badal gaya. Is ghatna mein kam se kam 11 logon ki maut ho gayi aur 33 se zyada log ghayal ho gaye, jinmein se kai ki halat gambhir hai.
Kya hua tha Chinnaswamy Stadium ke bahar?
RCB ne 3 June, 2025 ko Ahmedabad mein Punjab Kings ko 6 run se hara kar apna pehla IPL khitaab jeeta tha. Is jeet ke baad, 4 June ko Bengaluru mein ek bada jashn plan kiya gaya tha. Team ko Vidhana Soudha se lekar Chinnaswamy Stadium tak ek open-bus parade mein jana tha, jahan fans apne pasandeeda players, khaas kar Virat Kohli, ko dekhte hue khitaab ka jashn mana sakte. Lekin, stadium ke bahar bheed itni zyada ho gayi ki police usse control nahi kar paayi.
Lakhs of fans, jo RCB ke players aur trophy ko dekhne ke liye jama hue the, stadium ke gate number 3 ke paas bheed lagne lagi. Gate khulne mein deri hone ke kaaran logon ne gate par dabav dala, aur isse bhagdad jaisi sthiti paida ho gayi. Kai log bheed mein gir gaye, kuch behosh ho gaye, aur kuch ko bheed ne kuchal diya. Is hadse mein ek mahila aur ek bacche samet 11 logon ki maut ho gayi, aur 50 se zyada log ghayal ho gaye, jinhe Bowring Hospital aur Vydehi Superspeciality Hospital mein ilaaj ke liye le jaya gaya.
Police aur sarkar ka kya kehna hai?
Karnataka ke Deputy CM D.K. Shivakumar ne kaha ki bheed ko control karna mushkil tha kyunki yeh ek “young aur vibrant crowd” thi, aur police lathi charge nahi kar sakti thi. Unhone kaha ki 5,000 se zyada police personnel lagaye gaye the, lekin bheed ke aage yeh nakaafi sabit hue. Karnataka ke CM Siddaramaiah ne is hadse par dukh vyakt kiya aur ghayalon ke liye free ilaaj aur mare gaye logon ke parivar ke liye 10 lakh rupaye ke compensation ka elaan kiya. Unhone yeh bhi kaha ki is ghatna ki jaanch ke aadesh de diye gaye hain.
Opposition ne sarkar par uthaye sawal
BJP ke Karnataka unit aur Leader of Opposition Chalavadi Narayanaswamy ne is hadse ke liye Congress sarkar ko zimmedar thahraya. Unhone kaha ki yeh hadsa sarkar ke crowd management aur security mein nakaami ka natija hai. BJP ke president B.Y. Vijayendra ne kaha ki traffic police ne pehle hi sarkar ko chetavni di thi ki Vidhana Soudha ke aaspaas bheed ko control karna mushkil hoga, lekin sarkar ne iski andekhi ki.
RCB aur BCCI ka reaction
RCB ke players ne Chinnaswamy Stadium mein ek chhota sa jashn manaya, jismein unhone trophy ke saath ground ka chakkar lagaya, lekin bheed ke haalaat dekhkar programme ko 10 minute mein hi samapt kar diya gaya. BCCI ke secretary Devajit Saikia ne kaha ki celebration ke planning mein kami rahi aur yeh hadsa “shocking” hai. Unhone kaha ki authorities ko iski jaanch karni chahiye.
Fans ke liye dukh bhari khabar
Yeh hadsa RCB ke fans ke liye ek bada jhatka hai, jo 18 saal ke lamba intezaar khatam hone ki khushi mana rahe the. Social media par kai logon ne is ghatna par dukh vyakt kiya. Prime Minister Narendra Modi ne bhi is hadse ko “heartrending” kaha aur mare gaye logon ke parivar ke prati sanvedna vyakt ki, saath hi ghayalon ke jaldi thik hone ki kaamna ki.
Aage kya?
Is ghatna ke baad Bengaluru police ne Cubbon Park metro station ke entry aur exit band kar diye aur logon se livestream ke zariye jashn dekhne ki appeal ki. Sarkar aur police par ab yeh dabaav hai ki aage aisi ghatna se kaise bacha jaye. Yeh tragedy RCB ki jeet ke jashn par ek kaala dhaba ban gayi hai, aur isne crowd management aur public safety ke mudde ko ek baar phir se uthaya hai.
