Marketing and Revenue Head of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), Nikhil Sosale, is among those arrested in the case so far.
Sosale, on Friday, approached the Karnataka High Court challenging his arrest in connection with the stampede during the RCB's victory celebration. He has contended that the arrest was illegal, arbitrary and not by the law.
Earlier in the day, Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) President Raghu Ram Bhat, Secretary A Shankar, Treasurer ES Jairam, and other KSCA office bearers moved the High Court seeking to quash the FIR filed against them in the stampede case.
