Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have announced a financial support of Rs 10 lakh to each of the eleven families of the deceased, who lost their lives in a stampede outside M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Wednesday.

To celebrate RCB's maiden IPL title, a plethora of supporters gathered outside the venue to get a glimpse of the winning side including Virat Kohli, who has been with the franchise since the inception of the cash-rich tournament in 2008.

The situation turned painful when fans tried to break the stadium gate to enter the venue as RCB were celebrating their maiden title. The team landed in Bengaluru in the afternoon before they had a special welcome at Vidhan Soudha by Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. The team then headed to the stadium where the incident happened. The celebrations were curtailed and turned into sorrow with the loss of lives outside the stadium.
