Bengaluru mein Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) ke IPL 2025 jeet ke jashn ke dauraan ek bada hadsa ho gaya, jismein 11 fans ki maut ho gayi aur 56 log zakhmi ho gaye

Yeh hadsa M. Chinnaswamy Stadium ke bahar hua, jab lakho fans apni pasandida team ko dekhne ke liye ekattha hue. Is ghatna ke baad Bengaluru Police ne RCB, unke event partner DNA Entertainment Pvt Ltd, aur Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) ke khilaf FIR darj ki hai. FIR mein in teeno par “culpable homicide” aur doosre gambhir aaropo lagaye gaye hain.

Kya hua tha us din?

4 June 2025 ko RCB ne Punjab Kings ke khilaf IPL final jeeta, jo unki 18 saal mein pehli IPL jeet thi. Is jeet ka jashn manane ke liye Bengaluru mein ek bada event rakha gaya tha, jismein team ko Vidhana Soudha se Chinnaswamy Stadium tak ek victory parade nikalni thi, aur uske baad stadium mein ek felicitation ceremony honi thi. Lekin yeh jashn tragedy mein badal gaya jab 2-3 lakh fans stadium ke aaspaas jama ho gaye, jabki stadium ki capacity sirf 35,000 thi.

Police ke mutabik, fans ne stadium ke darwazo par zor zor se dhakka diya aur barricades tod diya, jisse stampede ho gaya. Is hadse mein 11 logon ki jaan chali gayi, jismein ek 13 saal ki ladki aur do teenagers (17 aur 19 saal ke) bhi shamil the. 56 se zyada log zakhmi hue, jismein kuch police wale bhi shamil the. Police ne crowd ko control karne ke liye halka lathi charge bhi kiya, lekin itne bade crowd ke saamne yeh kaafi nahi tha.

FIR mein kya kaha gaya?

Cubbon Park Police Station mein darj FIR ke mutabik, RCB, DNA Entertainment, aur KSCA ne event ke liye kaafi planning nahi ki thi. FIR mein kaha gaya hai ki:

Organizers ne police ke warning ko nazarandaaz kiya, jismein kaha gaya tha ki itne bade crowd ke liye zyada security aur time chahiye.
Stadium ke kai darwazo (gates 2, 2a, 6, 7, 15, 17, 18, 20, aur 21) par fans ka bheed ekattha hua, lekin waha par kaafi barricades ya crowd control measures nahi the.
RCB ne apne social media par dopahar 3:14 baje ek post kiya, jismein free passes ka announcement kiya gaya tha, jisse aur bheed badh gayi.
Event ke liye police se permission nahi li gayi thi, aur fir bhi yeh jashn aage badhaya gaya.

FIR mein RCB ko accused number 1, DNA Entertainment ko accused number 2, aur KSCA ke ek top official ko accused number 3 banaya gaya hai. In par Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) ke section 105 (culpable homicide), 115(2) (voluntarily causing hurt), 118(1) aur 118(2) (grievous hurt by dangerous weapons) ke tahat charges lagaye gaye hain.

Karnataka Government ka response

Karnataka ke Chief Minister Siddaramaiah ne is ghatna ki jaanch ke liye ek one-man commission banaya hai, jiska lead retired High Court judge Justice Michael D’Cunha kar rahe hain. CM ne kaha hai ki RCB, DNA Entertainment, aur KSCA ke representatives ko arrest kiya jayega. Iske saath hi Bengaluru Police Commissioner aur 4 doosre police officers ko suspend kar diya gaya hai. Government ne yeh bhi announce kiya hai ki har deceased fan ke parivaar ko 10 lakh rupees ka compensation diya jayega, aur zakhmi logon ka free ilaaj kiya jayega.

Karnataka High Court ne bhi is mamle mein state government se ek detailed status report maanga hai, jo 10 June tak submit karna hai.

RCB ka response

RCB ne is hadse par dukh vyakt kiya hai aur har deceased fan ke parivaar ko 10 lakh rupees ki financial help dene ka announcement kiya hai. Iske alawa, unhone ek fund banaya hai, jiska naam “RCB Cares” hai, jo zakhmi fans ki madad karega.

Doosre reactions

India ke head coach Gautam Gambhir ne is event ki aalochana ki aur kaha ki aise road shows ya victory parades band karne chahiye. Unhone kaha ki yeh celebrations stadium ke andar ya closed doors mein honi chahiye taki aisi tragedy na ho.

BJP ke spokespersons Shehzad Poonawalla aur Pradeep Bhandari ne Congress government par “state-sponsored negligence” ka aarop lagaya aur CM Siddaramaiah se jawabdahi maangi.

Kya seekha ja sakta hai?

Yeh ghatna ek bada sabak hai ki bade events ke liye proper planning, security, aur crowd management zaroori hai. Police ne pehle hi warning di thi ki itna bada crowd aa sakta hai, lekin organizers ne iski taiyaari nahi ki. Is hadse ne na sirf RCB fans ke liye dukh laaya, balki yeh bhi dikhaya ki safety ko hamesha pehli priority deni chahiye.
