RCB's senior official Nikhil Sosale granted interim bale by Karnataka High Court
New Delhi [India], June 13 (ANI): Royal Challengers Bengaluru's senior official, Nikhil Sosale, who was arrested over the June 4 stampede during the team's maiden IPL title triumph celebrations, has been granted interim bail by the Karnataka High Court, according to ESPNcricinfo. More than a week after the incident, Sosale and two officials from DNA Networks, the event management company associated with RCB, were released on specific conditions, the most notable of which was the surrender of their passports, according to ESPNcricinfo. ESPNCricinfo also reported that Sosale and all RCB officials who are part of the management team are likely to undergo an internal investigation by the parent company, Diageo. The incident occurred when thousands of fans gathered to catch a glimpse of their favourite players. Eleven people lost their lives and several were injured in a stampede outside Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy stadium as a huge crowd of nearly 3 lakh people had gathered to witness the victory celebration of RCB. The Karnataka Police had filed an FIR against the Karnataka Cricket Board Administrative Committee, RCB, among others, concerning the stampede incident. Last Saturday, two top Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) officials, secretary A. Shankar and treasurer ES Jairam, resigned, citing 'moral responsibility.' KSCA President Raghuram Bhat confirmed the development, saying that the resignations were discussed and accepted during an emergency meeting. He assured that the cricket body will cooperate with the investigation. 'When the inquiry takes place, we have already told the government and the High Court that we will never shy away from anything that is there. We are ready to cooperate with the investigation,' Bhat told reporters. The Bengaluru Police also filed the first information report (FIR) against the popular IPL franchise last Thursday, as per ESPNCricinfo. The police have said that RCB was not given permission to conduct the event at the stadium. RCB has been listed as the first accused in the FIR, along with DNA Entertainment, the franchise's event partners, and the KSCA, which controls the stadium. RCB expressed 'heartfelt condolences' to the families of the deceased in a statement, and since then has resorted to silence over the matter. (ANI)

Plea Claims "Extra-Judicial Ban" On 'Thug Life' In Karnataka, Supreme Court Issues Notice
Hearing a petition which claimed an "unconstitutional and extra-judicial ban" had been imposed on Kamal Haasan's film 'Thug Life' in Karnataka, the Supreme Court has issued a notice to the state government. The notice, the court said, was being issued considering the urgency of the situation. The Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce had threatened to ban the release of the film over the actor's statement that Kannada was "born out of Tamil". Certain groups have also threatened theatres in Karnataka and asked them not to screen the film, because of which it was released worldwide on June 5, but not in the state. The Karnataka High Court had earlier suggested that Mr Haasan apologise. The actor has said his statement was misunderstood and that he deeply respects the Kannada language, but has not issued an outright apology. Hearing the petition on Friday, the partial working day bench of the Supreme Court noted it has been argued that the film, which was duly certified by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), is not being allowed to be screened in the state of Karnataka. "The so-called ban under threats of violence comes from terror and arson against cinema halls targeting linguistic minorities. Considering the urgency shown, we issue notice to the respondent," the bench said. The plea states that the "ban" stems not from any lawful process, but from a deliberate campaign of terror, including explicit threats of arson against cinema halls and incitement to large-scale communal violence targeting linguistic minorities. It also alleges that the inaction of the State against the non-state actors allegedly inciting violence has led to the violation of Articles 14 (right to equality), 19(1)(a) (right to freedom of speech and expression), 19(1)(g) (right to practice any profession) and 21 (right to life and personal liberty) of the Constitution of the filmmakers, exhibitors and the viewing public.
