Overview
- Royal Challengers Bengaluru returned to social media nearly three months after the June 4 crush, unveiling an initiative called RCB Cares and promising more details soon.
- The franchise framed its hiatus as grief over the stampede outside M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, where 11 people died and dozens were injured during title celebrations.
- Government probes and a judicial commission have recommended legal action against RCB, DNA Entertainment and the KSCA, while FIRs were filed and senior police officers were suspended.
- The commission concluded the stadium is unsafe for large events, prompting the ICC to shift Women’s World Cup matches to Mumbai and moving the Maharaja T20 to Mysuru.
- The post drew online criticism for not directly addressing RCB’s role, even as the team reiterated compensation commitments, including payments to families of the deceased and support for the injured.
