The scattered pile of shoes, sandals and pieces of what seemed to be sportswear meant the consequences of tragic death near the Chinnaswama stadium in Bengalur, which claimed the lives of 11 people and left 33 others.
This incident occurred after an unexpected increase in 2-3 lamps who gathered outside the stadium to celebrate the historical first victory of the IPL RCB, which amazed a place that had the ability to hold only 35,000. The crowd exceeded the available and security arrangements.
What went wrong?
Many young people managed to climb to the branches of huge trees and frantic young men who sticked to the poles and even reduce the huge walls to get access to the stadium to see their stars, all at the same time, as PTI states.
The crowd became a chaotic and unmanageable and eventually launched StamPede. Before anyone could fully understand the panic situation, several people collapsed and lost consciousness, required immediate medical care and rushed to nearby hospitals.

In the middle of the developing tragedy, many young fans remained set on the walls of the Saint Mark cathedral, which were minor rinse sirens of police vehicles and continued to encourage their beloved cricket team passionately, PTI reported.
Here’s what eyewitnesses say
“Madness was so stunning that people didn’t even care for the fence to pierce when they climbed it to get in,” said Chandrashekhar Raju, Gandhi Bazaar’s resident in the southern Bengalur, joining Hinda.
“I lost my cell phone and saw countless earpods and watches crushed on the ground. So many people were injured … I have never witnessed anything like that.
Meanwhile, the police’s appeal is about people that “the stadium is full … The stadium is full,” and the insistence to disperse, fell on deaf ears.
The eyewitness said PTI, 600-700 to people, especially women, suddenly opened the gate and tried to enter, leading to Stampede.

“The information that the team’s roadshow was canceled and invited everyone to gather at the stadium, and many women came without tickets ….. the police tried to stop women, but did not listen and tried to climb the gates.
Another person said at least 30-40 people fell at the same time because of the crowd, but more people came from behind. Three four people died on the spot in front of my eyes.
“At 3 pm we were asked to come here at the gate number 7, but no one was allowed at the stadium until 17:20. There was a small opening, what else would happen?
