12:46⇢Victory Parade Stampede Kills 11
⌨The newspapers report that RCB's IPL victory celebrations in Bengaluru turned deadly with fatality counts varying between 6-11 people killed in a stampede outside Chinnaswamy Stadium, with over 50 injured as around 50,000 fans gathered for the victory parade (Aaj Tak, ABP Live, Dainik Bhaskar, Dinamalar, Firstpost, India Today, Jagran, Jansatta, Mathrubhumi, NDTV, The Hindu, The Print, Times of India, Zee News). The tragedy occurred when thousands rushed stadium gates to join what was supposed to be an "invitation only" celebration after RCB's first IPL title in 18 years. Several ambulances transported victims to Bowring hospital. In a separate controversy, actor Kamal Haasan refuses to apologize for claiming Kannada language "originated from Tamil," prompting Kannada organizations and Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce to protest in Bengaluru and Belgavi, threatening to block his new film "Thug Life" from release in Karnataka (The Wire Hindi).
