Overview

  • Royal Challengers Bengaluru confirmed ₹25 lakh for each of the 11 bereaved families, expanding on an initial ₹10 lakh pledge announced in June.
  • Under the newly launched RCB Cares program, the franchise outlined six long-term steps that include fast, transparent family support and measures that go beyond one-time payments.
  • The plan details work with stadium and league authorities on better crowd-management protocols, independent research and annual training on fan safety, and a dedicated memorial space in Bengaluru.
  • RCB also pledged community development initiatives, in-stadia job pathways, and support to help fans and local talent build careers in sport.
  • The June 4 crowd crush outside M. Chinnaswamy Stadium killed 11 and injured more than 50, with official probes holding organisers responsible and triggering venue restrictions that shifted tournaments out of Bengaluru.
