Bengaluru (PTI): The moment Josh Hazlewood finished delivering the final ball of the match, Bengaluru turned into a sea of roaring red, multi-coloured crackers illuminated the night skyline and fans stormed the streets chanting "RCB and Kohli".

Till Tuesday night, the delirium Chennai, Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad or Jaipur went through after a title triumph had eluded the streets of Bengaluru despite fielding star-studded teams in the past.

But June 3, they experienced that special feeling and they made it a special occasion too.

“Ee Sala Cup Namde (This time the Cup will be ours) became “Ee Sala Cup Namudu (The Cup is ours this time).”

Politicians and sportspersons belonging to the city took to twitter to express their delight.

“Huge congratulations to RCB on this unforgettable, historic victory. 18 years of passion, loyalty, and never giving up - and tonight, it all came together!

"You’ve made every Kannadiga’s dream come true This is more than a win - it’s an emotional moment for the entire RCB Army. Karnataka roars with pride,” wrote Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar on his X handle.

Former RCB skipper and leg-spin legend Anil Kumble too joined the wishers’ list.

“Congratulations to @RCBTweets on a fantastic IPL win! A well deserved title after a long wait,” he wrote.

But it was the common fans who rode bikes and cars waving the flags and banners of Royal Challengers Bengaluru revealed the extent of the emotions that gripped the entire state.

They braved a rather nippy night to watch the match on the big screens across the city.

They will now be geared up to welcome the champions in a grand manner on Wednesday.

The Garden City has turned into a massive green canopy along with the Monsoon, but for a few days Bengaluru will turn red.

Gorakhpur (PTI): A hospital employee was booked for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman in the pretext of an ultrasound test here in the district women's hospital, police said on Saturday.

According to the complaint, the woman, a resident of the Gulriha area, visited the district women's hospital on Thursday morning for an ultrasound test.

She was directed to a room, where Abhimanyu Gupta was conducting ultrasounds. When her turn came, the accused allegedly stared at her and told her to remove all her clothes, claiming it was necessary for the test and that a massage would also be required, she said.

The woman alleged that once she complied, the accused began making obscene advances and tried to force himself on her. When she screamed, he allegedly gagged her, abused her and threatened to kill her before pushing her out of the room.

She said her complaints within the hospital went unheard, forcing her to approach the police.

Taking cognisance of the complaint, the hospital administration constituted a three-member inquiry committee, officials said.

Senior consultant (paediatrics) Dr Jay Kumar said, "The woman has levelled serious allegations against a staff member. Senior officials have been informed, and a departmental inquiry is underway. Strict action will be taken if the charges are proved."

Kotwali Station House Officer Chatrapal Singh said a case has been registered, and efforts are on to nab the accused.
