RCB employee arrested by Karnataka police after terrible stampede during IPL-winning ceremony
The tragedy killed RCB’s victory festival as a stampede outside the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, claiming 11 lives including a child, and more than 20 injured.
What should have been a night of joy and celebration turned into tragedy in Bengaluru as 11 people, including a child, lost their lives in a stampede outside the M Chinnaswamy Stadium during Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s (RCB) IPL 2025 victory event. The incident, triggered by poor crowd management and a gargantuan turnout, has led to widespread outrage, arrests, and a full-blown judicial investigation.
Arrests and FIRs shake RCB and organisers
Following the horrific incident, Karnataka Police arrested four individuals in connection with the tragedy. Among them was Nikhil Sosale, RCB’s Head of Marketing and Revenue at Diageo India, who was taken into custody at Bengaluru airport while attempting to fly to Mumbai. Sosale was a key figure in organising the event and is now under investigation for lapses in planning.
