A fervent admirer of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan attempted to breach security at Eden Gardens during the IPL 2025 opening match between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on March 22. The fan’s endeavor to meet the actor was thwarted by vigilant police officers, who intervened promptly and subdued him.
A video capturing the incident has since gone viral, depicting the fan attempting to scale a tall fence to access the field where Shah Rukh Khan was present. Security personnel quickly apprehended the individual, pulling him down and restraining him to prevent any further disruption.

This event underscores the challenges faced by security teams during high-profile matches, especially when celebrities like Shah Rukh Khan are in attendance. Notably, this isn’t the first time such an incident has occurred. In 2012, Shah Rukh Khan himself was involved in an altercation with security at Wankhede Stadium, leading to a temporary ban from the venue. More recently, in May 2024, a fan breached security at Narendra Modi Stadium to meet cricketer MS Dhoni, resulting in his arrest.
The incident at Eden Gardens serves as a reminder of the importance of stringent security measures to ensure the safety of players, celebrities, and spectators alike during major sporting events.
