The tragedy occurred during the franchise’s title-winning celebrations, leading to an investigation ordered by the Karnataka government.

An FIR was filed against RCB, the event organizer, and the Karnataka State Cricket Association for conducting the programme without police clearance and ignoring safety instructions.
