Following the IPL 2025 final tragedy, Bengaluru’s M. Chinnaswamy Stadium unfolded another security scare. During the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, a scary incident took place when the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) faced Gujarat Titans (GT) on April 24. In the recent scare, it is being reported that two employees of a digital service provider firm entered the stadium premises and disabled around 240 CCTV cameras.
If the reports are to be believed, they damaged NVR units and optical fibre connections, thus disrupting the surveillance of several entry gates and a few key areas. Although the services were restored quickly, this incident has once again brought stadium security and operational protocols under scrutiny.
The incident came into limelight after Aditya Bhat, an employee of the Gurugram-based AI surveillance firm Staqu Technologies Pvt Ltd, filed the formal complaint. He accused the duo, identified as 37-year-old Mnjunath and 19-year-old Abdul Kalam of entering a restricted CCTV control room without authorisation and causing physical damage, as cited in Deccan Herald.

Furthermore, according to the police following the recent investigation, the two employees of subcontractor IVS Digital Solutions gained unauthorised access to the stadium’s CCTV server room. This just comes days after the Bengaluru police cracked a black-marketing racket of ticket sales at the stadium, where a canteen worker was arrested after the authorities seized over 100 tickets.
While the investigations are being carried forward by the concerned authorities, the defending champions, RCB are having a great season so far. Out of the 7 games they have played in IPL 2026, they have won 5 and lost 2 and are comfortably sitting in second place, just after Punjab Kings (PBKS). They are scheduled to play Delhi Capitals (DC) on April 27 in an away game at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
