Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. A huge crowd had congregated to celebrate their team's victory, but the poor crowd control and absence of police presence led to a stampede, resulting in the death of an estimated 11 people and critically injuring many others. The chaos unfolded on June 4, turning joy into mourning in a matter of minutes.</p><p>As a reaction to the tragedy, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah declared a hike in compensation for the families of the victims. The compensation that was initially ₹10 lakh for each of the deceased has been doubled to ₹25 lakh each. Condoling the loss, Siddaramaiah said in a post on X that the state government is determined to help those affected and ensure that no family is left behind because of financial constraints during this dark time.</p><p>The Chief Minister's declaration was greeted with relief and further outrage, as people wondered at the security arrangements at such a massive public gathering. With anger and sorrow escalating, the stage was set for those in charge of the event and maintenance of security.</p><h3>CID Probe Starts as Top Officials Quit</h3><p>The stampede has also had far-reaching administrative implications. Bengaluru Police Commissioner B. Dayananda was suspended in the face of public outcry at the unplanned lack of coordination. The incident also led to a change at the top in the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA), with Secretary A. Shankar and Treasurer E.S. Jairam putting in their resignations on June 7.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="kn">ಚಿನ್ನಸ್ವಾಮಿ ಕ್ರೀಡಾಂಗಣದಲ್ಲಿ ಸಂಭವಿಸಿದ ಕಾಲ್ತುಳಿತ ದುರಂತದಲ್ಲಿ ಮೃತರಾದವರ ಕುಟುಂಬಗಳಿಗೆ ಘೋಷಿಸಿದ್ದ ಪರಿಹಾರವನ್ನು ತಲಾ ರೂ.10 ಲಕ್ಷದಿಂದ 25 ಲಕ್ಷ ರೂ.ಗಳಿಗೆ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿಸುವಂತೆ ಆದೇಶಿಸಿದ್ದೇನೆ. <br><br>ತಮ್ಮವರನ್ನು ಕಳೆದುಕೊಂಡು ನೊಂದಿರುವ ಕುಟುಂಬಗಳು ಆರ್ಥಿಕ ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಗಳಿಂದಾಗಿ ಇನ್ನಷ್ಟು ಸಂಕಷ್ಟಕ್ಕೆ ಒಳಗಾಗದಿರಲಿ ಎನ್ನುವುದು ನಮ್ಮ&hellip;</p>&mdash; Siddaramaiah (@siddaramaiah) <a href="https://twitter.com/siddaramaiah/status/1931394633604669769?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 7, 2025</a></blockquote><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/what-a-tragedy-sunil-gavaskar-shocking-take-on-stampede-during-rcb-s-ipl-2025-victory-celebrations/">'What a tragedy?..'.'&mdash;Sunil Gavaskar's shocking take on stampede during RCB's IPL 2025 victory celebrations</a></p><p>A day before a crucial internal meeting, the case was transferred by the state government to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for a detailed investigation.
