The tragedy, which happened during RCB's title celebrations in Bengaluru, remains one of the darkest moments in the city's sporting history. Thousands of jubilant supporters had gathered outside the Chinnaswamy Stadium less than 24 hours after RCB clinched their maiden IPL title with a victory over Punjab Kings in the final in Ahmedabad. But the celebrations turned into chaos as the uncontrolled surge of fans towards the stadium gates left 11 dead and more than 50 others injured.

Eighty-six days on, RCB have come forward with a more substantial compensation package. In an emotional statement, the franchise acknowledged the magnitude of the tragedy and expressed solidarity with the grieving families.
