Bengaluru Stampede: Karnataka HC Denies Interim Relief To RCB Marketing Head Nikhil Sosale
Bengaluru/Hyderabad, June 10 (Maxim News): The Karnataka High Court has denied interim relief to Nikhil Sosale, marketing head of IPL cricket team Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), and reserved its order till June 11. His petition questioned the legality of his early morning arrest made by the Central Crime Branch sleuths on June 6. He claimed that the police action was influenced by political commands.
His lawyer on Monday told the HC that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah ordered the arrest and contended that he was not arrested by either Ashok Nagar police (where Sosale stays) or Cubbon Park police (under whose jurisdiction the stadium falls) but by the Central Crime Branch of Bengaluru.
“It was not part of the investigation, just because the CM said CCB arrested him, though they are not investigating the case,” he said.
Karnataka HC had taken suo motu cognisance of the Chinnaswamy stampede on June 5 that claimed 11 lives and left many injured. It had ordered the state government’s Advocate General, Shashi Kiran Shetty, to file a status report in a sealed cover. According to Shetty, a judicial commission has been set up, giving a one-month timeline for a report. He mentioned that police officers have been suspended. The next hearing is set to take place on June 12 in a petition initiated by it. (Maxim News)
