A video from Kolhapur, Maharashtra of Indian fans celebrating after the T20 World Cup in 2024, is viral claiming it shows Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) supporters post the team's win.

RCB defeated Punjab Kings by six runs on June 3, 2025, clinching their maiden Indian Premier League title, 18 years since the league’s inception. The celebratory event on June 4, 2025 for the team and fans in Bangalore turned tragic after a stampede occured at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, leading to multiple injured and 10 dead, with the number of casualties set to rise. 

The Claim: 

A video of people waving Indian and saffron flags while dancing on the streets is viral with a false claim that it shows RCB fans celebrating in Bengaluru.
