Police said around 50,000 people had gathered within a 1-km radius of the stadium, and many tried to push through gates or climb over barriers.

Eleven people died in Bengaluru on Wednesday due to injuries suffered during stampede-like conditions around the Chinnaswamy Stadium, where the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) players were being celebrated for winning the IPL for the first time in 18 years.

Last-minute confusions, limited seats at Chinnaswamy Stadium and an increasing crowd outside the premises led to the tragic stampede during Royal Challengers Bengaluru's victory celebrations, according to Karnataka police. Cops say at least 50,000 were gathered within a kilometre and the crowd kept increasing.
