Karnataka HC Grants Interim Release to RCB Staff, 3 Others in Chinnaswamy Stampede Case

The Karnataka High Court granted interim bail on June 12 to four individuals, including RCB marketing head Nikhil Sosale, arrested over the June 4 stampede outside Chinnaswamy Stadium during RCB's IPL 2025 celebration in Bengaluru.
The arrests followed a stampede that caused 11 deaths and over 50 injuries, with police accusing RCB, DNA Entertainment, and KSCA of negligence in organizing an unauthorized event for about 5 lakh attendees at a 33,000-capacity stadium.
The court noted no prior material implicating the petitioners personally and emphasized mandatory legal procedures, ordering bail conditions including passport surrender, evidence cooperation, and a personal bond of 1 lakh.
State authorities defended the arrests as lawful and adherence to procedure, while defense counsel argued jurisdiction issues, political motives, and lack of proper arrest documentation against the accused.
The court scheduled a hearing on June 17 to address ongoing legal matters, signaling continued judicial scrutiny over the stampede case and its implications for event management accountability.
