The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) celebrated their victory over the Gujarat Titans (GT) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 final on May 31, leading to widespread festivities across India, including Hyderabad. However, the celebrations quickly turned chaotic as unruly crowds engaged in vandalism and disrupted traffic in various city areas. Police were compelled to intervene, employing mild lathi-charges to disperse the crowds. Videos circulating on social media depicted fans obstructing traffic, striking police barricades, and engaging in reckless behavior, such as setting off firecrackers from moving vehicles. In response to the unrest, RCB urged supporters to celebrate responsibly and with their families, recalling the tragic crowd crush during their 2025 title win that resulted in fatalities. The Secretariat Road, a popular site for public festivities, saw large gatherings, but many fans disregarded safety norms, prompting police action to restore order and ensure public safety.
