Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s (RCB) title celebrations turned sour after 11 people were killed in a stampede on Wednesday as crowds tried to enter M Chinnaswamy stadium.

Local TV news channels showed some people stretched out on the ground and emergency personnel carrying people into ambulances.

Cricket fans had come out to celebrate Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s first Indian Premier League title win.

D.K. Shivakumar, the deputy chief minister of Karnataka state, told reporters that “the crowd was very uncontrollable.”

The Board of Control for Cricket in India, which organizes the IPL, in a statement called the incident “unfortunate.”

“This is a negative side of popularity. People are crazy for their cricketers. The organizers should have planned it better,” BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said.

Questions were raised on why RCB players didn’t stop celebrations after the incident. According to the Indian Premier League (IPL) chairman Arum Dhumal, the officials inside the stadium were not aware of the tragic incident.

“We spoke to the management and they assured us of wrapping up the ceremony quickly. RCB officials told me that they will finish the celebrations,” he told NDTV.

“Officials inside the M Chinnaswamy stadium weren’t aware about the incident. Heartfelt condolences. I am not aware who planned this event and how come such a huge crowd came to the venue,” he added.
