(Pic credit: PTI) It has now been three days since tragedy struck Bengaluru and innocent lives were lost due to the chaos. RCB have issued statements, announced monetary compensation for the families of the deceased 11 individuals and setup a 'RCB Cares' fund for the injured fans. Yet, the parent company behind RCB, Diageo, have remained quiet . As reported, we've sent a specific set of questions to Diageo on the stampede. The queries ask for their reaction on the incident, why they've been quiet, whether they were satisfied with the arrangements and whether this has soured the victory celebrations. As things stand, the company has not responded. Meanwhile, RCB's marketing head Nikhil Sosale has been sent to judicial custody until June 19. He, and three other DNA Event Management Company staffers, was arrested in the early hours of Friday at the airport.
