The IPL 2025 final between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings was held at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Tuesday. For the first time in 18 years, RCB lifted the title — triggering wild celebrations across the country. In Mumbai, jubilant fans gathered in Kandivli’s Mahavir Nagar area around 11.30 pm to celebrate the historic win. The crowd, largely made up of bikers shouting slogans for RCB and Virat Kohli, completely blocked the road.

Amid the chaos, a 52-year-old beat constable, Jaywant Rane, attached to the Kandivli police station, rushed to the scene and cleared the jam within two minutes. Rane rode straight into the crowd on his bike, parked it in the middle of the road, and used his stick to control the situation — not to harm, but to scare. Within minutes, fans scattered, and the road was cleared.
