Bengaluru Stampede: Karnataka HC grants relief to RCB marketing head Nikhil Sosale, directs him to surrender passport
The Karnataka High Court on Thursday granted interim protection from arrest to Nikhil Sosale , marketing head of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), in connection with the tragic stampede at the Chinnaswamy Stadium on June 4. The court also directed Sosale to surrender his passport as a condition of the relief. Sosale had moved the court seeking anticipatory bail and protection from coercive action after an FIR was lodged naming RCB, the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA), and event management firm DNA Entertainment Networks. The FIR alleged negligence and public endangerment under provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita following the fatal incident that claimed 11 lives and left several others injured. The stampede occurred during a public celebration organized to mark RCB's historic maiden IPL title victory. The event, held at the iconic M Chinnaswamy Stadium, saw an unexpectedly massive turnout, overwhelming crowd control arrangements and resulting in chaos. Multiple eyewitness accounts pointed to inadequate barricading and delayed medical assistance, raising questions about event preparedness. Live Events Court reserves ruling, later grants interim relief On Tuesday and Wednesday, the High Court had reserved its verdict on Sosale's plea. Delivering its decision on Thursday, the court ruled that Sosale be released from immediate arrest but imposed the condition that he cooperate fully with the investigation and surrender his passport to ensure his availability during the proceedings. KSAC officials already under interim protection This decision comes days after the same court granted interim relief to key KSCA officials, including President Raghuram Bhat, Secretary A Shankar, and Treasurer ES Jairam. Justice SR Krishna Kumar, who is hearing the matter, had earlier restrained the police from initiating coercive action against them, provided they continue to cooperate with the investigation. The next hearing in the case is scheduled for June 12. The controversy escalated last week after Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah publicly ordered arrests of officials from KSCA, RCB, and DNA Entertainment, stating that those responsible for the tragedy would be held accountable. The KSCA responded by filing a petition to quash the FIR, arguing that it had limited involvement in the event's logistics and was not directly accountable for the mishap. As investigations continue, the focus remains on establishing liability for the overcrowding and lack of adequate safety measures at what was intended to be a celebratory occasion for cricket fans in Bengaluru.

Explained: Referees to wear body cams during FIFA Club World Cup but it won't reduce controversies
A visual of the referee cam set to be used at the 2025 Club World Cup (Image via X/@fifamedia) FIFA has announced that referees at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup in the United States will wear body cameras as part of a new broadcast feature, offering unique point-of-view footage from officials during matches. The tournament, set to commence on June 15, will showcase this technology along with enhanced VAR reviews and new goalkeeper rules, though it will not contribute to reducing controversies or controversial decisions in the game. The body cameras, protruding from referees' earpieces, will transmit live footage via a private 5G network to match production teams. FIFA Director of Innovation Johannes Holzmuller clarified that this feature will only be in use at the six NFL stadiums hosting the tournament. Despite the unique visuals and first-person view of match proceedings, the body camera footage will exclude controversial moments and penalty decisions. "The objective is to offer the TV viewers a new experience," said Pierluigi Collina, Chairman of the FIFA Referees Committee. Viewers will be able to see unique angles of goals, saves, and pre-match coin tosses through these cameras, but controversial incidents will be excluded from the broadcast. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Why are controversial visuals going to be excluded? Explaining the decision to exclude 'controversial' incidents, Collina explained "Let's do things step by step. At the is a trial. We need to do something new and the simpler the better. So we fixed some rules within a protocol. We will offer these images in the future? Maybe when we learn to run, maybe not, maybe we will do." IFAB, the organization responsible for soccer's laws, has approved the trial of the body camera technology, with the possibility of expanding its use to controversial incidents in future phases. Poll Do you support the use of body cameras for referees in the FIFA Club World Cup? Yes, it's a great idea! If it won't help with controversies, it's pointless The tournament will also feature enhanced transparency in VAR decisions, with reviews shown on stadium screens followed by referee announcements over the public address system. Additionally, an improved semi-automatic offside technology will be implemented, utilizing 16 cameras connected to AI technology and algorithms. This system will send audio messages to assistant referees when offside players touch the ball. The new technology aims to make offside calls quicker and reduce instances of play continuing after clear offside situations until a VAR review. Bombay Sport Exchange Ep. 6: Harish Thawani on cricket's TV market and the watershed moments A significant rule change will affect goalkeepers, who will now have eight seconds to release the ball after picking it up, replacing the previous six-second rule. In the new rule, a violation will result in a corner kick for the opposing team instead of an indirect free kick. Referees will display a five-second warning, by counting down showing the fingers of one hand.
