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.
