Post last night's win, fans of Chennai Super Kings have accused Royal Challengers Bengaluru's fans of abusing women and all others wearing yellow jerseys outside Chinnaswamy Stadium. Royal Challengers Bengaluru beat Chennai Super Kings by 27 runs to enter the playoffs of IPL 2024. Multiple reports indicate that CSK fans were threatened and abused outside Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru and in several other areas in the city. Outraged fans have taken to social media to voice their concerns.

Not even outside, even inside the stadium, they can celebrate but CSK fans can't, tortured me and others so much we had to call policeman and they literally gave that policeman 500₹ and he went away, horrible experience, just never go to watch match in this stadium ffs ever.

The REASON I HATE RCB with every nerve in my body is because of this

I had the worst experience at Chinnaswamy when I went with my sister and especially if you speak Tamil.😏 https://t.co/ADrNmumLWN

There have been instances of CSK fans being bullied across Bengaluru roads just because they were wearing yellow jerseys. Meanwhile, the overwhelmed fans of RCB took to the streets of Bengaluru and reportedly blocked multiple roads in the city for late-night celebrations.

Felt the same. But I've not removed my jersey because I don't want to.

I truly admire true RCB fans but these toxic traits spoil the culture.

Peace.

CSK fans have alleged that RCB fans followed and abused them, not sparing even women and children. Fans speaking Tamil were also targeted, reported a social media user. Several tweets have demanded action from the Bengaluru police against the fans for abuse, bullying, and harassment.
