RCB lifted their maiden IPL trophy on Tuesday after defeating Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the 2025 final in Ahmedabad. However, the celebrations took a tragic turn as huge crowds gathered to witness the team’s victory. While the stadium has a capacity of around 35,000, two to three lakh people turned up.
The arrests came after Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah ordered legal action against those responsible, including officials from RCB, the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA), and DNA Entertainment Networks — the event management firm involved.
