The head of marketing and revenue for RCB at Diageo India was detained at Bengaluru airport while attempting to fly to Mumbai, the report added.
According to the publication, police have also detained three staff members of DNA Entertainment Networks Pvt. Ltd., the event management company responsible for organising the RCB victory celebrations.
This comes right after Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah directed the arrest of key representatives from the RCB team, the event management company DNA Entertainment Private Limited, and the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA). This came shortly after an FIR was filed against them on multiple charges, including culpable homicide not amounting to murder.
