The Karnataka High Court will pronounce its judgment on the petitions filed by representatives of Royal Challengers Sports Private Limited and DNA Networks Private Limited in the Chinnaswamy stadium stampede case this afternoon. Justice S R Krishna Kumar, who heard the arguments yesterday, will pronounce the verdict. The petitions filed by RCB marketing and Revenue Head Nikhil Sosale and DNA Director Sunil Mathe, and Event Manager Kiran Kumar question the legality of their arrests in the June 4 stampede outside the Stadium during the RCB victory celebration. They were arrested for making social media posts inviting cricket fans to come to the stadium for the victory celebrations, even though there was no permission to organise the event there. A Division Bench of the High Court of acting Chief Justice V Kameshwar Rao and Justice C M Joshi, that has taken a suo moto petition in the stampede case, had ordered Advocate General Shashi Kiran Shetty to file the action taken report on the stampede in a sealed cover. The Government is likely to hand over this status report to the court today. The stampede had resulted in the death of 11 RCB fans.
