Bengaluru stampede: Karnataka High Court denies interim relief to RCB official

The Karnataka High Court on Tuesday refused to grant interim relief to Nikhil Sosale, marketing head of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), in connection with the June 4 stadium stampede that left 11 people dead.

The court also reserved its order on Sosale’s petition until June 11.

Sosale was arrested by the Central Crime Branch (CCB) in the early hours of June 6. In his plea, he questioned the legality of the arrest, alleging that the action was politically motivated and carried out under external pressure.
