RCB marketing head Nikhil Sosale, on way to Mumbai, arrested at Bengaluru airport in case of stampede

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) marketing head Nikhil Sosale has been arrested at Bengaluru airport and interrogated in connection with the stampede incident that occurred near the Chinnaswamy Stadium during a IPL victory celebration.

Sosale, who plays a key role in RCB’s management team, was coordinating with event management firm DNA Entertainment Networks to organize promotional activities for the team’s post-season celebrations.

The promotional campaign included a widely circulated announcement of a “victory parade” stretching from Vidhana Soudha to the Chinnaswamy Stadium — a move that reportedly did not have prior approval from city police authorities.
