๐ From Cheers to Chaos
On a day meant for celebration, the unthinkable happened.
The streets of Bengaluru were painted in red and gold — flags flying, chants echoing, hearts beating with pride as RCB lifted their first-ever IPL trophy.
But joy turned into panic. Celebration turned into stampede.
And in just a few tragic moments… lives were lost forever.

๐ฏ️ 11 Lives, Silenced in Seconds
The crowd was overwhelming — lakhs of fans from across Karnataka had gathered to witness their heroes. But there were no proper barricades. No clear routes.
When the gates failed to hold the tide, chaos erupted.
People fell. Got crushed. And never got up again.
Among the dead: a mother clutching her child, a teenager who came to take selfies, an old man who had waited 17 years for this day.
They never saw the trophy. They only saw the ground beneath — one last time.

๐จ This Wasn't an Accident. It Was Neglect.
This tragedy didn’t "just happen."
It was the result of negligence, poor crowd control, and complete lack of preparedness.
Thousands of fans entered through a single entry.
There were no medical response teams close enough.
No audio warnings. No proper exit planning.
How could such a large-scale event be held without safety as the top priority?

๐ก Where Is the Accountability?
Why were people packed like cattle outside a stadium that couldn’t breathe?
Where were the authorities when fans screamed for help?
How could a victory — the biggest in the franchise’s history — end in death?
Every question echoes through the cries of families who lost their loved ones… not in war, not in disaster — but in a celebration.

๐ฌ Fans Don’t Deserve This
The same fans who stood by RCB in loss, who waited every year in hope…
The same fans who painted the city red, who sang their lungs out for Kohli and Faf…
Were the ones abandoned when it mattered most.
They deserved safety. They deserved care.
They did not deserve to die.

๐น A Moment of Silence. A Pledge for Change.
Let’s take a moment — not just of silence, but of responsibility.
This cannot happen again. Not in Bengaluru. Not in any city. Not at any parade.
Victory doesn’t mean anything when it’s built on bodies.
RCB may have won the IPL — but humanity lost something far greater that day.
