Stampede outside stadium in India's Bengaluru kills 11

BENGALURU, India — At least 11 people were killed in a stampede on Wednesday as a tightly packed crowd celebrated the victory of their home cricket team in the Indian city of Bengaluru, the state's chief minister said.

Joyous cricket fans had come out to celebrate and welcome home their heroes, Royal Challengers Bengaluru after they beat Punjab Kings in a roller-coaster Indian Premier League cricket final on Tuesday night.

But the euphoria of the huge crowd ended in a disaster, with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi calling it "absolutely heartrending".
