Trouble is far from over for the RCB fans as the focus has now shifted to Pune, Maharashtra, where the authorities have booked over 40 people for bursting crackers, creating a ruckus on the road and disrupting the commute while celebrating Bengaluru's first ever-IPL title. The incident took place at Namdar Gopal Krishna Gokhale Chowk after the final on June 3.

"Around 40 persons have been charged under provisions of Maharashtra Police Act for disrupting public transport, creating public nuisance and disturbing peace with firecrackers. The celebrations caused inconvenience to motorists. We are reviewing CCTV footage of the area to identify more persons," the official added.

According to police, the fans disrupted traffic, danced on streets and ignored repeated warnings, leading to lodging an FIR under Section 223 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Samhita (BNS).

Stampede Like Situation Avoided In Hyderabad

It is worth noting that Bengaluru is not the only city in the country that celebrated RCB's success, but fans across cities gathered on the roads to be a part of the celebrations. Meanwhile, a stampede-like situation was averted in Hyderabad. 

"In the RCB’s IPL victory celebrations over 20,000 people gathered from Secretariat road to IMAX circle which led to a massive traffic jam. Ambulances were stuck and the public faced inconvenience. But the Hyderabad City Police responded swiftly & firmly, and averted a potential stampede situation and safeguarded many lives. The Telangana State Police and Hyderabad City Police remain committed to ensuring public safety at all times," tweeted Hyderabad City Police.

Things Get Ugly In Bengaluru With FIR's

The situation in Bengaluru is getting serious with each day as there is an uproar in the city after the death of 11 people. Notably, in the latest events, RCB's head of marketing has been arrested alongside four other people. 

Also, the arrested parties have been taken for a medical and a few more arrests are expected in the coming days as the matter is presently being heard in Karnataka High Court.
