RCB’s Aid for Bengaluru Stampede Victims

RCB, the team that won the IPL 2025 title, is once again in the news. This time the reason is very special. After about 3 months, this team has announced help for the families of those who lost their lives in the Bengaluru stampede. On 30 August 2025, RCB promised to give Rs 25 lakh each to every family. This information has been given on the social media platform X. In a post made by RCB, it has been told that financial assistance of Rs 25 lakh each has been provided under the 'RCB CARES' initiative.

RCB wrote in a post shared on X and Instagram, 'On June 4, 2025, our hearts were broken. We lost 11 members of the RCB family. They were part of us. Part of our city, our community and the things that make our team unique. They will always be in our memories. Their place cannot be filled with support, but as a first step RCB has given Rs 25 lakh each to their families with a promise of unity and continued care'.

RCB further wrote in its post that 'This is also the beginning of RCB Cares, a long-term commitment to meaningful work, which begins by honoring his memory. Every step forward will reflect the feelings, expectations and rights of the fans.'

Information about 'RCB Cares' was given

Just 2 days before this big announcement, RCB shared a post on 28 August. This was the team's first social media post after the incident that happened on 4 June. In that post, the team had given information about the launch of 'RCB Cares'.

What is the whole matter

Actually, RCB won the IPL 2025 title under the captaincy of Rajat Patidar. All the fans were celebrating. This is because the team won the first title in 18 years. RCB has a huge fan following. However, the joy of victory turned into mourning within 24 hours. On June 4, at around 3:25 pm, a stampede broke out during the felicitation ceremony held at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. This program took place on the same day when the official celebration of victory was also being held in the Legislative Assembly. Lakhs of fans had gathered outside the stadium. Then suddenly 11 people died and more than 50 were injured in the stampede.
